Lemonade Raising ovarian cancer awareness across Yorkshire and supporting those who have been affected 🍋

14/09/2026

No one should feel dismissed when talking about their health.​

Yet 47% of women say they have felt unheard, ignored or dismissed when seeking medical support.​

For women experiencing ovarian cancer symptoms, that can have serious consequences.​

When women feel dismissed or unheard, it can make them less likely to seek help again or push for answers when something doesn't feel right.​

During Gynae Cancer Awareness Month, we're encouraging everyone to trust their instincts.​

You know your body best. If something feels different, persistent or unusual for you, it's always worth getting checked.

Many women cannot name the symptoms of ovarian cancer. And that matters.​

Because if we don't recognise symptoms, we're less likely to act on them.​

Ovarian cancer symptoms can be subtle:​

🔹 Persistent bloating 🔹 Feeling full quickly 🔹 Tummy or pelvic pain 🔹 Needing to wee more often​

Knowing these symptoms won't diagnose ovarian cancer. But it could help someone seek help sooner.​

You never know who might see this post 💙

A friend. A sister. A colleague. A parent.​

Ovarian cancer symptoms can be easy to dismiss, especially when they seem like something else. Many women put symptoms down to stress, menopause, ageing or digestive issues before receiving a diagnosis.​

By sharing the symptoms of ovarian cancer, you could help someone recognise a change that shouldn't be ignored.

What is LGSOC — and what makes it different?

Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (LGSOC) is a rare and distinct type of ovarian cancer. And understanding those differences matters.

⭐ It often affects younger women than the more common high-grade serous ovarian cancer.

⭐ It tends to grow more slowly — but it can be persistent and difficult to treat.

⭐ It is less sensitive to traditional chemotherapy than high-grade serous ovarian cancer.

⭐ Its biology is different, which means LGSOC needs research and treatments specifically designed for this disease.

Rare should not mean overlooked.

The more people who understand LGSOC — patients, families, healthcare providers and researchers — the more we can improve awareness, diagnosis, treatment and ultimately outcomes.

Help us make this rare cancer better known. Share this post and help someone new learn about LGSOC.

Have you noticed some disruptions to your usual routine lately?

If you find yourself needing to take more toilet breaks, skipping meals, or experiencing any symptoms that feel out of the ordinary for you, speak to your GP.

And if your symptoms don't go away, go back to your GP or ask for a second opinion within a month.

It may be nothing to worry about, but it could save your life 💜

Although ovarian cancer is less common in younger women, it can still happen. Knowing the symptoms and staying informed can help spot potential signs earlier, giving women the best chance of accessing treatment and surgery as soon as possible.
