Frocktober – $2000!

Two posts in a day – to celebrate reaching $2000 on my Frocktober fundraising campaign. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared posts, commented and spread the word! Your support means so much. My fundraiser has been shared by politicians to drag queens and everyone in between. Mum has traipsed Dean St in Albury, telling people about the fundraiser. She’s the best. And so many of you have donated a little or a lot – even in tough times – thank you.

I hope these facts about Ovarian Cancer are useful for you.

Here’s something everyone should know:

The CA125 blood test is non-specific and is often elevated in other diseases and inflammatory conditions such as endometriosis, menstruation and uterine fibroids.
Although it can be helpful to monitor the status of ovarian cancer in women who have already been diagnosed, it is not an accurate detection test for ovarian cancer. This is another reason why developing an effective early detection test is so crucial. Let’s back research and find it.

I have my CA125 levels examined every three months by blood test. It’s scary, but the last two have been very positive. I went from five figures down to a single figure thanks to surgery and treatment, and it feels like a miracle. I’m kicking cancer’s arse.

Please donate to my Frocktober campaign and share this post – – link in bio. Again, I appreciate the donations and shares so far, and the support from brands too. It’s been a lot to share my story of Ovarian Cancer every day, but I know it’s for a good cause.
