I've conquered for Cancer Council
Why a fundraising target of $667
Some of you may know that a couple of months ago I was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer.4 days after I received the news, I was in the operating theatre for a radical hysterectomy. My PET scan indicates that the surgeons got it all out and I am cancer-free. I feel incredibly lucky.
What I've learnt since is that uterine cancer (all types) is the 5th most commonly diagnosed cancer. It typically has a good survival rate, but in 2022, 667 women lost their lives.
There isn't a simple test for biomarkers like there is for prostate cancer. A cervical screening won't pick it up. It is diagnosed by way of a biopsy. But often the symptoms are mistaken for (peri)menopausal symptoms.
So, I’m taking on the 7 Bridges Walk on Sunday 20 October with my good pal, Leanne. It's a solid 28km around Sydney Harbour.
Please consider sponsoring me and raising funds for Cancer Council NSW as they work towards the vision of a cancer-free future.
