Cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum usually causes symptoms that are similar to common non-cancerous conditions. This can make it difficult to diagnose early.
If you have any of these symptoms or get these symptoms regularly, your GP should offer you cancer tests:
โข a long-lasting bloated or swollen tummy
โข feeling full quickly when you eat
โข loss of appetite
โข pain in the lower tummy area or back
โข peeing (passing urine) more often than usual
โข needing to pee urgently (feeling like you cannot hold on).
Other symptoms may include:
โข a change in your normal bowel function (diarrhoea or constipation)
โข weight loss for no obvious reason
โข unexplained or extreme tiredness (fatigue)
โข vaginal bleeding after the menopause.
If you are aged 50 or older and develop symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for the first time, you should also have tests. IBS can cause bloating and changes in bowel function. But it does not usually start after the age of 50.
Thereโs no screening for ovarian cancer and itโs really difficult to spot: you canโt squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also itโs 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.

Maybe itโs that theyโre putting the panels too close together for grass to grow sufficiently for the sheep to graze or maybe itโs just scaremongering from the anti-renewables brigade? I donโt know at this point. But it would be helpful so I can push back if itโs bunkum

Do the solar panels have to be installed a certain distance apart for that to happen? Thereโs a solar farm being proposed near me and thatโs the argument Iโm hearing, that theyโre putting the panels too close together for grazing

Photo of a man in a 1920s gangster suit. Heโs standing in a black marble staircase and behind him are gold and white vases and jardiniรจres with white and gold flake flowers in. There are gold pillars and an archway and a chandelier

I donโt think this is the end either. Proper justice more likely to be served if heโs no longer a prince.

You need to read the palace statement in full on the BBC news site. The prince part is true. The statement also recognises the suffering of victims of abuse. Itโs a huge and significant thing for the palace to say.

Well done to everyone who called this out and exposed these horrific proposals. Excellent work.
That theyโve ditched it because of the huge backlash should be brought up every time these vile people claim they speak for a silent majority. No. They. Donโt.

Suggest you re-read your posts of an hour ago where you used your half-Britishness to call people โproblematicโ using your American definitions. I think youโve got yourself in right muddle here in a post where youโre complaining about those who impose their cultures on other people

Works both ways. Youโre here on the internet using the American term โwasp valuesโ at people on a different continent to imply those people are โproblematicโ In how they address their own relations.

Ngl, if one of my relatives turned up at a family event and started telling us we shouldnโt say whose cousin is whose and talking about โWASP upper middle class valuesโ in rural Britain, weโd think theyโd gone insane and their mum would probably ban them from the internet.

Itโs clearly an American thread eg it says white people donโt want safety nets. It may be so in America, I donโt know as I live in Britain. Same goes for working out who your second cousins are being white supremacist. Maybe in America, if you say so.

Correcting Mandami is white supremacist? Iโm not American. I just thought they were being ignorant that other cultures even exist. Americans on the internet have form for that. In my family, which is enormous, working out how weโre all related to each other is a bit of fun when someone comes to a
