Each year, about 1,815 Australian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is a gynaecological cancer arising in the ovaries, fallopian tubes or lining of the abdominal cavity. The signs can be hard to detect as these are often similar to those of many other conditions, such as menopause (when ovarian cancer also often occurs), making them easy to overlook. More information can be found on the Woman Can website.
Many women say they feel frightened, angry, anxious, guilty, confused and upset after receiving a diagnosis. Your feelings may go up and down while you process what’s happening to you and how it affects your loved ones.
