Ovarian cancer is often dubbed a 'silent killer' due to having various symptoms that often only develop when the disease reaches an incurable stage.
Around 7,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year in the UK, with two-thirds being diagnosed at a later stage when the cancer is much harder to treat.

Dr Frankie Jackson-Spencer told the Mirror: "Ovarian cancer often goes undiagnosed until it reaches the late stage due to its symptoms being vague and often overlapping with common/less serious conditions."
If diagnosed at the earliest stage, nine in 10 women will survive which makes it all the more important for people to become aware of the symptoms.
According to the NHS, feeling bloated and experiencing a swollen tummy are common warning signs when it comes to ovarian cancer. But there are also many other symptoms that could signal the deadly disease too.
There are nine known symptoms of ovarian cancer including a “loss of appetite” and/or “abdominal pain”, warns Dr Jackson-Spencer.
