Frocktober: floral fun

•FROCKTOBER•

Let’s bust some myths and get informed 🤓

Pap smears or cervical screenings cannot detect ovarian cancer. Currently, there is no early detection test for ovarian cancer and the only way to definitely diagnose it is through surgery. Funds raised throughout Frocktober go toward research projects, including diagnostics and early detection.

I underwent so many unrelated tests over many months, for conditions that I thought I had (related to the bowel) before I finally got diagnosed with Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer in June 2024. This means I will never know if my cancer was detected early.

Please consider donating to my Frocktober fundraiser. If you can’t donate, please share this post. Thank you!

Today’s prompt is “floral fun”. I’m wearing a gorgeous dress gifted to me by Melbourne brand, Variety Hour. I love the floral print and the fab sleeves. Sunnies are from the Taylor Swift 1989 concert back in 2015, yellow tee is Sportsgirl, brooch is Curious Carousel, necklace is Blue Illusion, shoes are Rollies and bag is Roodle.

Images: Carly, a woman with red skin and short dark curly hair, wearing a long cream puffy sleeved dress with bright flowers on it, belted at the waist, over a butter yellow top. A golden honeycomb brooch is pinned to her dress – there are flowers in each hexagon. She’s got pale pink sunglasses and shoes on, and a yellow handbag is over her shoulder. She’s smiling, standing in front of a brick wall. The first photo is close up, the second is full length.
