Today is World Ovarian Cancer Day 💜

Ovarian cancer can affect anyone who has ovaries, and it mostly affects women over the age of 50.

World Ovarian Cancer Day is observed annually on 8th May to raise awareness about ovarian cancer, its symptoms, risk factors, and the importance of early detection and treatment.

Please share this post to help raise awareness!

If you’d like more information about how we can help you after or during a cancer diagnosis, visit www.cancercare.org.uk, or contact our Therapy Coordination Team: tct@cancercare.org.uk.

🧠🌀 Feeling overwhelmed? Stress isn’t just “part of life” — it can affect your body, mind and behaviour in real ways.

Here’s what you might experience:
✔️ Physical: headaches, muscle tension, stomach issues, chest‑racing heartbeats
✔️ Mental: trouble concentrating, making decisions, constant worrying
✔️ Behavioural: irritability, sleep too much or too little, eating changes, pulling away from others

When stress becomes long‑term, it can lead to burnout — extreme exhaustion, cynicism, reduced performance.

You don’t have to cope with it alone.
