My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in January 2024. Her symptoms happened overnight. She was so brave going through chemotherapy and wearing a cold cap but unfortunately the cancer beat her 4 weeks ago. My mum didn’t have the gene or did this type of cancer run in the family.. my mum blamed the covid jab as the dates add up
