'˜Know the symptoms of ovarian cancer' warns Larne woman

After providing a stool sample, she returned for an examination by a young doctor who detected a lump.

Hide AdCarol said: “He asked about weight loss. I had lost a stone in a month. He also said that I must have been feeling very tired.
“I was booked in for an ultrasound scan which showed a growth on my left ovary.”
This was confirmed by a CT scan as well as a second large tumour on the right and cancer on her liver.
