Amanda Davies says during her period she would go up two dress sizes and then come back down again
A woman says doctors sent her away and told her she had symptoms of perimenopause for two years before she learned she had ovarian cancer.
She explained: "I started getting stomach problems, feeling bloated, lots of IBS symptoms, I thought there is something more to it. I had massive pains to the point I would have to come home from work. Severe bloating. I was constantly going to the toilet to change, it was awful to think people were watching me walk across the corridor in work.
Amanda had been going to the doctors for 18 months with these problems before she finally was diagnosed. "They started doing scans, they said you have the doctor to thank for this - my cardiologist had put on my notes to have urgent scans, because he knew there was something wrong. Then at 3am that morning, they told me it was a cancerous mass. A stage three tumour."She was informed that this type of mass usually starts out very slow growing and can go undetected for years until later stages when it becomes more aggressive.
"My nan died of ovarian cancer in 1989, I was tested to see if it was genetic but my nan was not my genetic link. It was hard for my mother. Her mother died of cancer and her daughter had the same cancer that killed her mother."
