Help raise awareness of ovarian cancer
You can ensure more people learn the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer
How you can make a difference
Every year in the UK over 7,000 people are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Many may have had symptoms for months but due to them being vague they are often misdiagnsoed or thought to be digestive problems or signs of the menopause or getting older. Unfortutaley Most people are diagnosed when their cancer has spread, but we want to change this so people are diagsnosed at an earlier stage so outcomes can be improved.
Getting Ovacome’s straightforward message about the signs and symptoms to anyone born with ovaries is so vital.
Become part of our wider community of supporters wanting to help ensure more people know about ovarian cancer and the signs and symptoms by distributing our B.E.A.T. campaign materials to places they visit and people they meet.
B is for bloating that doesn’t come and go
E is for eating difficulty and feeling full more quickly
A is for abdominal and pelvic pain you feel most days
T is for toilet changes in urination or bowel habits
