My Journey with Ovarian Cancer

After two fairly big surgeries I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer earlier this year. It came as quite a shock; not only to me, but to my family and friends.

After speaking with my oncologist gynaecologist he recommended I start chemotherapy right away. I am currently into my 5th cycle (month) of treatment and I sincerely thank the amazing team of doctors and nurses at Cabrini Brighton & Malvern. My oncology nurses are incredible to say the least and give me such support and guidance during treatment when I’m feeling at my very worst. They are the angels that walk amongst us. You just can’t see their wings.

I want to bring awareness to ovarian cancer, as often the diagnosis often comes too late. If you do not feel yourself and notice changes in your body (that often can simply be related to a busy lifestyle) please see your doctor. Do not delay as time is critical . Symptoms can be

-severe fatigue

- bloating of the stomach

-unexpected weight loss/ gain

-discomfort in the pelvic area

- frequent urination

- back pain

Please be proactive about your health as early detection is critical.

On December 3rd I walk for all those who are fighting against cancer. For our beautiful love ones who fought so hard and have lost their battle. They are never forgotten and walk beside us each day. We walk for them and will share beautiful memories on our walk.

We hope and pray that there will be a cure for all cancers one day and people will receive the treatments they need to manage and live out the healthy life they so richly deserve.

I ask if you are in a position to donate to this worthy cause, please do so. If you are healthy enough to walk the 21km either on the night or during the week, please join us and register for an incredibly emotional but an unforgettable experience. Raising money will support patients like me receive the treatments and care we need to manage this disease and continue the fight against all types of cancers.

Lastly I take this opportunity to thank all of the angels in my life that walk beside me and are supporting my family through these challenging times. Without your support, I know I couldn’t have done this. From the bottom of my heart, a sincere thank you! Let’s go Angie’s Angels! Let’s raise some serious awareness and kick cancer’s butt! ????

I'm raising money to help tackle cancer

I’m taking on the 21km Walking Stars challenge this December – it’s going to be one special night to make a difference!

Did you know that 1 Victorian is diagnosed with cancer every 15 minutes? From the moment that person hears the words ‘you have cancer’, their life will never be the same again. The emotional, physical and financial toll of a cancer diagnosis is far reaching.

Thanks in part to generous Victorians, 7 in 10 people facing cancer will survive five years after their diagnosis. But there’s still so much work to be done.

By supporting me, you can help tackle cancer from all angles – from cancer research to powerful prevention programs and compassionate support services. Together, we can work towards a day where a cancer diagnosis holds no fear.
