My CANCER Wasn't Caught Even With Additional Testing! - Marina | Ovarian Cancer | The Patient Story

After giving birth to her daughter, Marina experienced symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, heartburn, and fatigue that were initially dismissed as postpartum issues. With her mother’s history of ovarian cancer and her own BRCA1 positive diagnosis, Marina knew something more serious could be at play.

In this cancer vlog, Marina recounts her emotional journey through numerous tests, including an ultrasound and CT scan, which revealed large masses on both ovaries and widespread malignant ascites. She talks about the challenges of receiving a life-changing diagnosis while caring for her young daughter, the support of her doctors, and the strength she’s found to continue fighting.

Thank you, Marina, for sharing your story to help others.
