I had Ovarian Cancer did not know. I had a ovarian cancer for years. Stopped being intimate for 6 years decided to get with a friend. Just from my birthday 2025 and found out because I wouldn't stop bleeding. So I end up going to the doctors. He had me go further to find out, you know, maybe it was my menopause that just wouldn't do. I don't know but anyway, so I went to go and see how far my menopause was progessing. I want to get my uterus ultrasound and found out that I had several tumors in my uterus, and in my ovaries had them due to a hysterectomy, because I didn't want them poking and prying on me and october seventh when they removed my hysterectomy stitches is when she told me that I had ovarian cancer. It was definitely a hard pill to swallow.But I did not know how to swallow that pill because it was removed before I even knew I had it so to all women out here, please make sure your daughter's your cousin. Your sisters, your friends, your nemesis, your people that you just don't like and get their uterus. Ultrasound, to ensure everything is properly taken care of.

Thank you for sharing this important discovery story and for encouraging other women to prioritize their health screenings. Finding out about cancer through unexpected bleeding shows how the body sometimes signals that something needs attention, even when symptoms aren't obvious for years. The message about getting regular ultrasounds and checkups is so valuable for this community, as early detection can make a significant difference in outcomes and treatment options.
