Ep 17 Hannah campaigner for raising awareness

Living With Ovarian Cancer Podcast

‘Living with Ovarian Cancer Podcast’ full of inspiring stories told by people or their loved ones, who themselves have lived with, or are still living with Ovarian Cancer.

Each person’s story is a gift; unique and is told from the heart in their own words. I am your host, Diane Evans-Wood. Please subscribe and leave a 5* review so that the show becomes more visible to listeners.

In this episode I talk to Hannah Lane who was diagnosed with Low Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer at the age of 35. Hannah recounts her story of frequent GP visits shortly after having her second child. Eventually she was diagnosed with extensive disease that resulted in chemotherapy, major surgery resulting in an Ileostomy and then recurrent disease. Hannah campaigns tirelessly to raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer outside of the cancer community. She wants people to know the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer, no matter what their age or gender. She has collaborated with two other people to make an impactful video that is being shared from the month of March in the UK for Ovarian Cancer Awareness month.
