A woman who went to her GP about changes in her period and backache was diagnosed with womb and ovarian cancer within three months of each other, leaving her “completely shocked” as doctors previously reassured her she was “too young” for cancer.
Gemma Coleman, 34, who lives in Bolton with her husband of two years, Jack, 36, was “absolutely devastated” with her double cancer diagnoses, and urges women, during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, to “trust your gut” when it comes to changes in your periods, and to “not be afraid to challenge doctors”.
