My family, Chris’ family and my best girl Lauren are running the Cancer Research Pretty Muddy 5k in June 2023 for me because on the 7th December 2022 my life was turned upside down, when i was diagnosed with stage 2 Ovarian Cancer. I ran this 8 years ago and never thought my family and friends would ever be running it for me. If you could spare £1, £2 or anything to sponsor the team i would be eternally grateful.
Backstory if you wanna read:- i had been feeling very unwell for months probably the last 6-12 months, i had most of the symptoms of ovarian cancer if not all of them. I contacted my GP when the symptoms started and asked if it could be cancer and if i could have my routine Ca125 bloods (cancer markers i got every three months because of my endometriosis) checked also, to which they told me it wouldnt be cancer but they would do my bloods. My bloods came back extremely high making me worried so i asked the dotctor again could it be cancer to be told again ‘your far to young and that's far to rare for a fit young healthy girl like you to be having, it’s probably your endometriosis, just keep an eye on how your feeling’. I pushed and pushed doctors and asked to see the gynaecologist, i seen a gynaecologist who kept an eye on me for around 8-9 months meaning 2 appointments and i got no further forward, they then dismissed me from RAH as they couldnt do nothing as my case was to complex for him with my bloods being high but cant see anything on my scan. I then started seing a doctor in the QE who sent me for an MRI scan and after the results told me i had to loose my left ovary as it was suspicious looking but they wouldnt do surgery on me as it was risky and they were not taking the risk so they dismissed me and sent me to the royal.
Fast foward to now, i saw the gynaecologist oncologist in the Glasgow Royal, he basically told me i needed the ovary removed so we went ahead with that on the 1st December, he took biopsies and sent it all to be tested. I was told i could start IVF a few weeks after my surgery as my MRI scan showed my right overy looked fine so IVF was booked for the 16th December and we were absolutely buzzing. Wednesday 7th November i got a call my results were ready could i attend the clinic at 3:40pm. That day i got diagnosed with Stage 2 Ovarian Cancer, the cancer was actually in both my ovaries, my womb and my pelvic wall, there was also some visible bits on my abdomen meaning i needed the tissue that covers your organs removed and would need a full hysterectomy and would never be able to carry my own kids. On thr 13th December i had my full hysterectomy and the lining of my lower abdomen removed. I am now awaiting for results from this operation so i can get my treatment plan in place for me to start treatment
My life has been turned upside down, at 27 i never thought i would be the young girl with cancer. I lost my chance to have kids that i was meant to start treatment for in 2 weeks time. I am heartbroken, gutted, devastated, i dont think there is any feeling to describe it all. Time for the biggest fight of my life. Time to kick cancers ass.
