Apart from being angry, I think I was quite angry, I wasn't angry at anybody in particular, apart from myself, but I was angry at the lack of information of the symptoms of ovarian cancer, the lack of knowledge that I had, as a female, I thought I should have known about these things. I knew that if you had a lump in your breast you went to your doctor's, but I didn't know if you had these symptoms, you know, that you should perhaps persevere, and if I'd had a scan earlier maybe things could have been caught earlier. However, I think you know, the anger, since has inspired me to do many things.
And here I am, nearly two years later, praise God I'm still well and I'm, you know, trying to make an effort to raise awareness of ovarian cancer to deal with this anger that I still have to a certain extent and I, you know, tell, I'm probably quite boring actually, I talk to a lot of, you know, women obviously, and men to a certain extent, but of my age and younger, and try and educate people. Because I think I did, well I do believe I'm quite a well informed person, and I, you know, I'm not surprised when I talk to people that they're quite as ignorant, and I think that helps me overcome my anger with myself, but it still doesn't stop me being angry at the lack of information available, you know, generally about ovarian cancer. |
