The Dianne Oxberry Trust is focused on raising awareness of the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer amongst the most at risk groups of women and their GP’s across the North West of England.

Many of the early symptoms of ovarian cancer are easy for women to ignore because they can be quite mild, most common ones include:

§ persistent bloating

§ feeling full quicker and /or loss of appetite

§ Pelvic or abdominal pain

§ urinary symptoms (needing to wee more urgently and often)

This is the danger with this disease. It starts quietly and very often women are unaware that there is a problem until it is too late.

Because the symptoms of ovarian cancer can be mistaken for symptoms of other non-cancerous conditions, there can sometimes be a delay in diagnosis. Research has shown that early diagnosis can improve a woman’s prognosis.

So, our mission is to help make sure every woman with ovarian cancer in the North West of England is diagnosed as early as possible.
