Episode notes

‘Living with Ovarian Cancer Podcast’ is full of inspiring stories told by people who are living with or have a connection with Ovarian Cancer. Each person’s story is a gift to those listening; unique and told from the heart in their own words. I am your host, Diane Evans.

After a short break I am delighted to share this episode with you where I am honoured to be talking Doris Locke. Doris originates from America, but she now lives with her Husband in Norwich in the U.K. She was eventually diagnosed in 2017 with High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer after seeking medical help for some time for pain. We discuss how medical gaslighting is an issue in women’s health and that we are dismissed with less serious conditions before an eventual diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer. Doris spoke to me about the importance of the microbiome of our gut and nutrition to sustain health. We also talked about advocating for yourself, the importance of exercise and mindset, and the impact on those closest to us. Doris discussed the use of re-purposed drugs in the Care Oncology Clinic regime (similar to Jane McLellands “How to starve cancer”. I hope you will enjoy listening to the wisdom that Doris shares with us.

Be sure to leave a review and share your own experiences with us if you’d like to.
