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 such an important experience and encouraging other women to prioritize their health through regular screenings. Persistent bleeding after menopause can be a significant warning sign that deserves prompt medical attention, and your story highlights how crucial it is for women to advocate for thorough testing when symptoms arise. The message about getting ultrasounds and staying on top of gynecological health could help other community members catch potential issues earlier in their journey.
