Two years ago I was backwards and forwards to the doctors with bloating and discharge/bleeding. I was fobbed off several times but eventually I actually said to the GP that I was afraid that I had Ovarian cancer.

I was eventually referred for tests and in February 2014 I had a 9cm x 6cm malignant tumour removed together with both ovaries, uterus and everything else down there.

Anyway, I'm still here. This is my second Christmas with my family since I was diagnosed with cancer. I'm actually cancer free at present, long may it last. I'm just so happy to be here.

Ladies, do not ignore vague symptoms such as bloating, constipation, loss of appetite, vague pains, passing urine more frequently. Happy Christmas to you all.

My friend was diagnosed with breast cancer at 34, she is now 71 and her cancer is back but she is living life to the full, going on slides in the park with the grandbairns, gardening, walking and is a house fanatic scrubbing and cleaning every day. She has been an inspiration to me.

Since we retired 5 years ago, DH has had treatment for two totally different cancers. Our motto has been "we're OK until we're not OK". And writing this, we're OK and as it says in the song - we're still here!!
Best wishes to you and all in similar positions XXX flowers
