Let’s Talk Ovarian Cancer, Endo + PCOS
Happy Monday beautiful souls and welcome back (or hi if you're new) for another ep of LTP!
Did you know February was Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month? Today's episode is a rundown on Ovarian Cancer, as well as the increased risk people with endometriosis and PCOS have with developing the cancer. I chat on the symptoms to look out for and what to do if you have them. I also mention the incredible work that Ovarian Cancer Australia do!
