Ovarian Cancer

Interview 2: Losing weight and swelling tummy also stupidly didn't ring any bells with me or made me start to think that I had cancer.

Interview 30: Beginning I told them they must be dreaming. It cannot happen to me because in my family there's nobody who has ever had it. Even up to this day, I believe it's a dream. And to me the dream is a bad, bad dream.

Interview 31: Try and make yourself feel a little bit more confident and I think maybe we can, we can do that with make-up where men can't. And maybe that helps to give us back our self-esteem a little bit.

Interview 03: I think what people cannot stand is this feeling that you've got to be positive, and if you're not positive you're not going to make it. And I think you've got to be realistic that, you know, having been through that sort of treatment there are going to be times when, or however positive a person you are, there are going to be times when you're going to hit rock bottom and not to feel guilty that you feel bad and you’re feeling low because it's an abnormal situation. And I think sometimes because it's an abnormal situation, people need a bit more support than they would normally accept if they were going through something else.
