Ovarian cancer is often dubbed a 'silent killer' due to having various symptoms that often only develop when the disease reaches an incurable stage.
Around 7,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year in the UK, with two-thirds being diagnosed at a later stage when the cancer is much harder to treat.
Due to its 'vague' symptoms, reports say that 44 percent of GPs mistakenly believe the signs only become present in the later stages of the disease, explains Target Ovarian Cancer.
