Kylie & Lexi Chapman

Lexi and I will be wearing a different dress every day during the month of Frocktober to raise money for an early detection test for ovarian cancer. We have joined our street fam who do this every year in honour of their Mum & this year for my dear friend Jessica Fisher who sadly lost her battle with ovarian cancer in June.

Ovarian cancer is THE most common cause of death from a gynaecological cancer. Every year approximately 1,600 Australian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, most of them with an advanced stage of the disease. Why? Because there is no early detection test. A pap smear doesn't detect ovarian cancer.

Women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer report four types of symptoms most frequently:

1. Abdominal or pelvic pain.
2. Increased abdominal size or persistent abdominal bloating.
3. Needing to urinate often or urgently.
4. Feeling full after eating a small amount.

Men - get your ladies to check their ovaries. Women - listen to your body.
