Hannah Catton was finally diagnose with ovarian cancer after years of complaining about pains to her doctors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 24-year-old woman, who moved from Kent to Australia in 2019, experienced symptoms of bloating, irregular periods, always feeling full, and frequent urinary tract infections for years.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Catton\u2019s prognosis is good, others aren\u2019t so lucky.<\/p>\n

She is now using her story to raise awareness and to help other women advocate for themselves more and request additional tests when they feel like something is wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hard. It is harder to know a lot of my treatment could have been avoided,\u201d she wrote<\/a> on Facebook. \u201cI want my story to change this for the next young woman who walks into a Dr with generic symptoms. I want them to be listened to, I want them to be offered more than I was, to be supported by their GP more than I was.\u201d<\/p>\n
