Natasha Reynolds, from Sheffield, visited the GP once a month for a year and a half before she was officially diagnosed with ovarian cancer. <\/p>\n
Like 40% of women with ovarian cancer, her symptoms became so unbearably painful, she was forced to go to A&E for help.<\/p>\n
“All I could think was \u2013 surely, I’m too young for that? I’m only 22,” she said.<\/p>\n
She was later diagnosed with an extremely rare form of ovarian cancer which mostly affects young people.<\/p>\n
“I want whoever reads this to be confident in knowing their body, to understand themselves and to have the confidence to advocate for themselves,” said the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n
“We live in our bodies, we know them and love them, and we often know when something is deeply wrong.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Natasha Reynolds, from Sheffield, visited the GP once a month for a year and a half before she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558349,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-558348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
