When were you diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer? What were the earliest symptoms that you experience?

I was diagnosed in August 2015 and had surgery on the 15th of October 2015.

At what age were you diagnosed with cancer? What was your age back then and did you have children?

I was 23 when I was diagnosed and I didn’t have any children

What was your reaction to the same? Did you have a family history?

I was completely shocked when I got the news, I had been struggling for so long not understanding what was wrong with me or why I kept feeling so poorly. There has always been cancer on both sides of the family but never ovarian.

What diet & lifestyle modifications did you undergo to battle the same?
