Thank you for this. For sharing, for educating, for advocating. It was truly enriching & eye opening!
PS: all my love to you, your mom in heaven & your kids. And if I can be foward, there was a book that came to mind while reading this, and I think I should tell you. It’s called “The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying”, by Sogyal Rinpoche.
Beautiful, heartbreaking and informative post Stevie. May have lead to some crying at the cafe 😂 my mum is battling cancer at the moment so hit very close to home. 100% agree about the need to advocate for yourself, it’s shouldn’t be that way but it definitely is. I had no idea the stats around ovarian (and similar) cancers were so bad. Hopefully we can change that. Sending you love ❤️
Oh Ami, I am so sorry to hear that your mum has that horrible bloody C-word too. I hope that you can be a beautiful support for her. Sending you lots of love and please reach out if I can ever help with anything (not saying I can, but it's so much and I wish I'd had someone sometimes!) Sending your mum all of the vibes, seriously.
Thank you for sharing this heartfelt story and raising awareness. We don't do this enough. I honestly feel like I know your mum when I read your posts. She sounded like such a beautiful human and I'm so devastated she isn't here to share each and every moment with you all. xx
Stevie, reading this about your mum, my beautiful Cousin, broke my heart, knowing what she (and you) went through. Thank God she had you by her side 🙏. Her Angel.
I have supported Ovarian Cancer er since my diagnosis back in 2008. I was one of the lucky ones who had an early diagnosis. It was quite by accident when I went to a new Doctor for a flu shot and he asked for my medical history. I too had endometriosis and he ordered new scans for this. That’s when he discovered 2 ovarian tumours over 8cm each and over 32 tumours through my uterus. I had a radical hysterectomy at 42 and have never looked back. I too had no symptoms.
Hopefully more funds will flow through and early detection will soon be possible.
Stay strong gorgeous girl. Love and hugs to you always ❤️. Melissa xx

Thank you Patricia, I appreciate this a lot. I devour books, and adding this one to my reading list too - thank you for suggesting it.
