Ovarian Cancer in the media

[Hetty]

We don't get much press to highlight what ovarian cancer is so if you have time on Friday listen to Radio Lancashire. Presenter Sally Naden has a slot on her programme talking about it to raise awareness. It's between 11am and 1pm, sorry can't be more precise.

It will hopefully help people to be more aware of OC.

Thanks Hetty.

There is a live feed to Radio Lancashire here:-

bbc.co.uk/news/england/lanc...

Also there is a 'listen again' link under the mugshot of the DJ currently broadcasting which could be useful on Saturday to skim the programmes that were broadcast on Friday to try and find the feature.

Love Lizzie

There's been quite a bit in magazines this month, so it is improving! At the moment I'm not sure what my plans are but I've been asked to do a slot on Southend Radio's morning show about OC, so watch this space!

Thanks, Lizzie for your link. Will try to get onto it

Love Wendy xx

Hi Sharon,

I listened today at the following link:-

bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/p...

It started 1.20:00 minutes in the show and ended around 1:45:00 into the show.

I was one of the ladies that was diagnosed late. No single huge tumour, but lots of spread and 3c. Not responding to treatment, and little hope that I will last another 12 months, but let's hope the show helps more people.

Love Lizzie

Dear Lizzie

Im so sorry to hear your prognosis. Its a terrible disease and we need to get more awareness out there to other women.

I want to wish you Luck with your treatment and i hope and pray the outlook isnt as bleak as it sounds. Stay strong..and know i am thinking of you.

Love Sharon xx

[Hetty]

Well done Sharon! Just listened to Sally Naden from last Friday and you were very good. I hope lots of people heard it and recognise any symptoms they may have.

Wish I'd found mine sooner - have big operation next week to try to remove tumours that have re-appeared. Keep smiling! Hetty x

Thank you Hetty. I was so nervous and wish id prepared better but i think it went ok and hopefully got the message about symptoms out there. Good luck with your surgery next week...i'l keep my fingers crossed that it all goes well for you. I was so lucky that i was caught in the early stages..ive been clear for 2 years now and count my blessings every day. Keep in touch about how your op goes..take care Hetty..love n best wishes Sharon xx
