Yes I did it's great to raise awareness like this.You may never know,and it may not be immediate but by doing this you have saved someone's life.Keep up the great work m x
Yes I did. You came over really well and certainly highlighted the problems of getting a diagnosis and the real need for awareness of symptoms for doctors and the women themselves.
I listened to the whole show and really enjoyed it all. Particularly your bit Sue. I thought it was a really honest and helpful piece that got the message across. Brilliant!
Yes Millie.. and thanks. It's the reason I did it. I feel that since I'd had so many hospital in stays that, by rights, my disease should have been glaringly obvious, but had I known myself, I think I would have been more insistent in my approach... Love T xx
Thanks Annie. Simon Hoban is really great. He's a radio journalist with a personal interest in Ovarian. It's no secret that he lost his own Mum from the disease not very long ago. She was found at a late stage. He told me all of this after the show, but it's in the media so I'm not betraying a confidence. As I was listening to his words to me off air, I was completely blown away with such a strong realisation of how this disease affects all of us no matter whether we have it or not. We have a friend in him... there's no doubt about that Annie. Love to you... x x

Dear Tina,
This would explain why he was so good with his questions....when I first heard it I was astounded that he was so clued up on the subject.
You were brilliant too Sue well done love x G x

Thanks Gwyn .. he's up there in journalism Gwyn and very respected. I just thought that it was ironic that all the time he was interviewing us, I had no idea that he had a very personal experience of this cruel disease. Love to you Gwyn x x
Hi Tina well done ,you spoke well, I wish I had heard your story before I started-on the treadmill, my OC was missed by a gynae consultant, but was eventally diagnosed 10 months later after being given a ct scan for hospital admission with an acute abdomen.I read all your blogs, thanks and I wish you well. Love Bridie XXX
Well done you - I've just listened to it and you were great - really got the point across clearly. Hope you are feeling proud of yourself.

Hi Tina,
Thanks for posting this - a very good interview indeed. I recently went on our local community radio station to raise awareness too. Like you, I just want to do all I can to raise awareness of symptoms because again, like you, I was oblivious to them before I was diagnosed.
That is really informative, Sue. You spoke ever so clearly and got a lot of info in. It's great that so many women are coming forward to share their experiences now. Well done
