Ovarian cancer is nasty. Especially in that it is hard to diagnose early on, so it is often diagnosed late. Too late. When it’s much harder to fight. And win.
It’s so often diagnosed too late, that 1 in 7 women will die within 2 months of being diagnosed (report of ovarian statistics from the United Kingdom).
But if diagnosed at it’s earliest stages, 9 in 10 women will survive.
Two thirds of women are now diagnosed late, when the cancer is harder to treat.
Diagnosis is difficult.
Many reasons why.
