Be aware this Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Each year, about 1,720 Australians are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer starts when cells in one or both ovaries, the fallopian tubes or the peritoneum become abnormal, grow out of control and form a lump called a tumour. Deb Roffe is one of Cancer Council’s 13 11 20 Nurses who support more than 5,000 South Australians impacted by cancer every year. This Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, she shares the importance of listening to your body and seeing your doctor when something doesn’t feel quite right.
