Hi all,
Some of you may remember that about 18 months ago on the forum, I shared that my wife Karen was ill. She had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She ended up having an operation and then some fairly gruelling chemotherapy.
I am happy to say that she is doing well at the moment and has all but recovered from the effects of the chemo (it's taken the best part of a year) with tests currently showing no recurrence of the cancer. Good news!
Ovarian cancer research (especially the 'clear cell' type she had) is underfunded and the disease is difficult to diagnose. So she has decided to walk 100 miles during March to try to raise some funds for the 'Target Ovarian Cancer' charity. If you could see how she was a year ago, walking 100 miles in a month is a bloody miracle and is a tribute to her sheer bloody mindedness!
Anyway - if you'd like to give a couple of quid the link is here:
I have attached a graphic showing the common symptoms of the disease - if you or you loved one is suffering matching symptoms, get to the docs and (from experience) make sure you keep going back and bothering them. They'll tell you it is indigestion, IBS etc etc etc.
Thanks everyone,
Jon (ZeroTheHero)
