When the sun rises on May 8th each year, it's a special day for many people. This date is World Ovarian Cancer Day, a time when we talk about a health challenge that many don't often discuss.

One year ago, I started sharing my own story about how ovarian cancer led me into early menopause. This was a big change in my life, filled with a lot of hard moments but also growth and learning to accept the new path I was on.

Many people don't talk much about menopause or the tough journey it can be, especially when it happens sooner than expected because of ovarian cancer. Going through this wasn't just about the physical changes, but also how it made me feel mentally and emotionally.

It was really tough, but I've come to see how important it is to face these changes with hope and positivity.

Ovarian cancer is sometimes called the "silent killer" because it's hard to detect early on. It's a big reminder for us all to pay attention to our health and to listen to what our bodies are telling us. World Ovarian Cancer Day is a chance for us to promise to take better care of ourselves and to be there for others going through the same thing.


 Sharing our stories about ovarian cancer and menopause is powerful. It's not just about the hard stuff, but also about the courage and strength we all have. It shows others they're not alone. This journey shows how strong the human spirit is, facing challenges with all the strength we have, and finding beauty and growth along the way.

Remember to always take care of your health. It's the most important thing we have. Let's support each other, not just today, but every day.

Sharing our stories ties us together in a way nothing else can, showing us that together, we can face anything.

Today, let's all remind each other: you're not on this journey alone. Your story is important. Together, we're not just survivors; we're warriors ready to face the future with courage and strength.

"Together, we fight. Together, we win."

 Looking after your health is the best way to honor ourselves and the many women who are fighting ovarian cancer.
