Educating yourself on ovarian cancer

In many of my discussions with people who have known other people who have suffered from cancer here in Fiji when asked what form of cancer an individual had, the general answer given is "cancer ni kato ni gone". When this is literally translated it means, cancer of the "baby bag". Since my diagnosis in November last year I have basically done my own research to try and understand the progression of this type of cancer and what would need to be done to deal with each stage.

For all my friends out there, I have tried to share information which would be useful to you in this blog to help raise more awareness of the symptoms so that you get help well before it is too late as has happened in my situation.

This site is quite informative and would be good to read and explore: http://ovationsforthecure.org/aware/aware_facts.php
