There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis.
Please take a look at this list of symptoms - and share if you can.

Long shot (mainly due to how little engagement I get on here), but I'm looking for freelance writers with an interest, or specialism in, classical music.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Going on the last purchase price is probably the fairest way. It would exclude people like your last couple of callers, and apply to people who can afford to *buy* a £2m+ pad, which must surely be the target.
