    ‘Living with Ovarian Cancer Podcast’ is full of inspiring stories told by people who are living with or have a connection with Ovarian Cancer. Each person’s story is a gift to those listening; unique and told from the heart in their own words. I am your host, Diane Evans. After a short break I am delighted to share this episode with you where I am honoured to be talking Doris Locke. Doris originates from America, but she now lives with her Husband in Norwich in the U.K. She was eventually diagnosed in 2017 with High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer after seeking medical help for some time for pain. We discuss how medical gaslighting is an issue in women’s health and that we are dismissed with less serious conditions before an eventual diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer. Doris spoke to me about the importance of the microbiome of our gut and nutrition to sustain health. We also talked about advocating for yourself, the importance of exercise and mindset, and the impact on those closest to us. Doris discussed the use of re-purposed drugs in the Care Oncology Clinic regime (similar to Jane McLellands “How to starve cancer”. I hope you will enjoy listening to the wisdom that Doris shares with us. Be sure to leave a review and share your own experiences with us if you’d like to.

She even took her campaign to high places as you will hear. Diane was diagnosed with Low Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer, and she tells me about the difficulties she experienced during the process of diagnosis and then how hard it was going through the covid pandemic at the time. We talk about the rareness of the disease Diane was diagnosed with, and how she managed to cope after surgery. In addition to this, Diane’s Husband was himself diagnosed with cancer, so life was very traumatic for them both at that time. Diane’s eyes lit up when talking about her family and she clearly adores them all. I am sure you will find Diane’s story very interesting and uplifting because she is so full of positivity and life.

    ‘Living with Ovarian Cancer Podcast’ is full of inspiring stories told by people who are living with or have a connection 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. In this episode I talk to Gemma Coleman, a young woman living with Endometrioid Uterine and Ovarian Cancer in Manchester. Gemma has a very powerful story to tell of being your best advocate and trusting your intuition when something feels wrong. It was a long-crooked road to diagnosis for Gemma which seems to be a very common issue for many of us. We also talk about so much more in this episode including Endometriosis, anxiety and what helped Gemma, insomnia, the new normal, infertility and where to find support. I have provided a link below for the Shine Cancer Support website which is where Gemma accessed the Shine “Breakout” programme on-line. Gemma is a true inspiration, and I am very grateful to her for spending so much time with me to share her story; especially as she is currently going through chemotherapy at present. So, thank you Gemma from the bottom of my heart. Gemma likes to run for her mental and physical wellbeing, and she is running a Marathon in aid of The Christy Hospital.

    Ep 27 Carol, from Nurse to patient!

    ‘Living with Ovarian Cancer Podcast’ is full of inspiring stories told by people who are living with or have a connection 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. In this episode I talk to Carol Kutzner who is a Senior Nurse and was diagnosed with Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer in 2021 at the age of 60. Carol tells me the all too familiar story of feeling that something was not quite right but not knowing what. Many of us have been there, attributing symptoms to other everyday ailments and health issues. Following the twisty road of diagnosis, Carol underwent surgery and chemotherapy whereby she was then deemed to be “no evidence of disease’. However, a short while later she found herself on the rollercoaster ride of disease recurrence. Carol talks openly about her experiences over the last few years since diagnosis and subsequent recurrence and shares her wisdom regarding what she has learnt along the way. We didn’t get chance to talk about her support network, but Carol wanted to acknowledge the immense support of her partner Rob. He has been ‘her rock’ from the very start of her cancer experience and so this episode is dedicated to the amazing Rob! Carol mentioned the following organisation in this episode: Maggie’s Centre: https://www.maggies.org We also spoke about the importance of only seeking information from credible organisations such as: Ovacome: https://www.ovacome.org.uk Target Ovarian Cancer: https://targetovariancancer.org.uk Thank you so much for listening to ‘Living with Ovarian Cancer’.

Please know that you are not alone. Whatever feelings you’re experiencing over the holiday season, you can guarantee that there are many others going through similar with you.

    Ep 25 Jo and her remarkable zest for life

    ‘Living with Ovarian Cancer Podcast’ is full of inspiring stories told by people who are living with or have a connection 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 to the Podcast and leave a review so that the show becomes more visible to listeners. In this episode I talk to Jo Fjelle, who describes how she endured many years of concern over her potential to develop cancer due to her family medical history. Sadly, she was not taken seriously and was unable to have the vital genetic testing that was required to ascertain her risks of developing Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Eventually she did develop Ovarian Cancer and after having the BRCA test, which she paid for privately, Jo found out that she was BRCA 2 positive. For this reason, Jo elected to have a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy. Jo’s story really is quite concerning given that she was so sure that she was at risk of developing cancer, yet I couldn’t fail to be inspired and uplifted by her story at the same time. Jo has such a zest for life and she has the biggest, kindest heart. I hope you enjoy listening to her story. In this episode Jo mentioned Ovacome which can be found here: https://www.ovacome.org.uk We also mentioned other sources of support which can be found here: https://targetovariancancer.org.uk https://www.macmillan.org.uk https://ovarian.org.uk Thank you so much for listening to ‘Living with Ovarian Cancer’.
