A young mother in the U.K. is sharing her heartbreaking story to raise awareness after being misdiagnosed with a stomach infection and told she was too young for ovarian cancer—only to later be diagnosed with stage 4. Now, she urges women not to ignore symptoms like bloating, which she initially mistook for a sign of her period.
The 28-year-old mother from Leeds, Sophie Casey started experiencing severe bloating in September which made her look like she was nine months pregnant. "The doctor said it was an infection in my stomach. The antibiotics didn't agree with me and I was vomiting. I'd never had that before," Casey said, as reported by Yorkshire Live.
