We chatted to the incredible Hannah Lane about living with advanced ovarian cancer, being a mum and living with a stoma bag (ileostomy). Hannah’s story is remarkable and despite being dealt a cancer diagnosis at just 35, she remains upbeat and matter-of-fact, all the while raising much needed awareness of this lesser talked about disease.
The charity Target Ovarian recently warned that despite successful campaigns to boost awareness of ovarian cancer, many people- including health professionals-are still unaware of the red flags to watch out for. Are you in the know? Common symptoms of ovarian cancer include:
*feeling constantly bloated
*a swollen tummy*discomfort in your tummy or pelvic area
*feeling full quickly when eating
*needing to pee more often than usual
ALWAYS speak to you GP if you have any concerns.
Thank you for sharing your story with us, Hannah. You can find her over at @noovariesandastoma on Instagram.
By shopping with us you'll be supporting other cancer patients. Each month we will use profits to treat one of the randomly selected C-List community members (aka YOU!) to something special. It might be a beauty gift or a fancy afternoon tea. So watch this space to see what we pull out of The-C-List goody bag. Oh and spread the word x
