Do you know what the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer are? Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer can be non-specific, meaning, you may believe your symptoms are due to peri-menopause, menopause, or even a past injury.

My journey with Ovarian Cancer began long before I had a diagnosis, but I did not know I had Ovarian Cancer. Here are some of the most "offending" symptoms I began having years before my diagnosis:

- Severe Night Sweats: These night sweats would drench my sheets and covers multiple nights a week. I thought I was perimenopausal and my doctor indicated some women have night sweats during this time.

- Lower Back Achiness: My lower back began significantly aching about three years prior to my diagnosis and I attributed this to a fall I had in 2017, which fractured my tailbone. This achiness got so bad I could barely bend over and pick up my 8lb dog.

- Weight Gain: No matter what diet I was consistent with or training program I was in, the weight would barely budge, and I felt like I had pounds of water retention.

- Fatigue: Constant nagging fatigue that kept me from achieving my gym goals, hiking, and other activities I truly enjoyed in life.

This last symptom was ultimately what got me into my doctor and pushing my doctor to do a deep dive into:

- Urge to Urinate: For over a year I was waking up about 2-4 times a night to go to the bathroom; I constantly felt the urge to urinate.

Initially, my doctor thought I had a UTI (this "urge" started in 2013) and I was treated for UTIs - for years. Late 2022 this became unbearable, and I could no longer accept this was a UTI or that I was incontinent etc., and so I pushed my doctor to do a deep dive in to other causes.
