I thought I had IBS. I thought I was drinking too much before bed. I thought I was just getting bloated from menopause. I had Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer.
If you think you have ANY of these symptoms please talk to your GP and ask for a two week referral.

March: #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth
With no screening programme, we need to raise awareness of the disease and its symptoms. We are a group of women with a diagnosis keen to change the statistics. Will you help? @lorraine @thismorning @BBCMorningLive @BBCBreakfast @ITV β at East, England

I've written an e-book and it's all about cake! I'm fundraising for @cancer5kYourWay that'll (eventually) get me to the Great North Run. If you donate you'll receive a link to the book, including a recipe for parkin, which is THE best cake for autumn

The Big Strong Lasses return! Weight training classes for women with breast cancer start on Sept 18th. 10 sessions over 12 weeks, beginners & those already getting stronger. Progressive, suitable for all. Lovely safe space to start. Book through www.//linktr.ee/carolyngarritt
Thank you @SharonHodgsonMP for raising this. Information is power and cervical screening is the perfect opportunity to inform women about Ovarian Cancer signs and symptoms, for which there is currently no effective screening.
We're delighted that @SharonHodgsonMP highlighted Target Ovarian Cancer's research in Parliament, which found that 40% of women wrongly believe cervical screening detects ovarian cancer.
This isn't the case, as there's currently no viable screening for ovarian cancer.

On World Ovarian Cancer Day I want to share my story and the symptoms I missed. Please make sure you know and share them.

The way we vote is changing. On Thursday 4 May, youβll need to bring photo ID when you go to the polling station. Need a reminder? ππππ β€οΈ and weβll send you a reminder to bring yours.
I'm asking those who love the outdoors to post a picture. A picture that YOU took. Just a pic. No description. The goal is to regain peace and harmony without negativity. Please copy the text, put a picture on YOUR page, and let's look at these beautiful pictures. Here's mine
Just went to setup a @fitbit challenge today to find they have been stopped. This is such a step backwards and so disappointing. Please bring our fitness encouraging fun back @FitbitUK @FitbitSupport. #fitbitbingo
Another Saturday morning, another @parkrunUK. We were tourists today at @claphamparkrun. Thanks to all the Marshalls. A very sloppy and muddy course but we stayed on our feet and finished with a smile.
