MOVE WITH PURPOSE THIS NOVEMBER AND CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO WALK, RUN, OR MOVE ANY WAY YOU CHOOSE FOR 4KM EVERYDAY TO SUPPORT AUSTRALIANS IMPACTED BY OVARIAN CANCER. Join Now Meet Kate, a Workout 4 Women ambassador "It might sound strange, but I always felt something wasn't right, even when everything seemed normal. I’ve had gut instincts that were really strong, and they’ve guided me." AT JUST 33 YEARS OLD, KATE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH OVARIAN CANCER. AFTER HER SYMPTOMS WERE INITIALLY DISMISSED BY DOCTORS, KATE FELT FRUSTRATED AND UNCERTAIN. ENCOURAGED BY HER PARTNER, DANIEL, SHE SOUGHT A SECOND OPINION. “THAT GP FINALLY ORDERED SOME SCANS, AND THE NEXT DAY, HE TOLD ME IT WAS CANCER. I REMEMBER HE SAID IT WAS OVARIAN CANCER, BUT HE SEEMED UNSURE BECAUSE I WAS ONLY 33. IT WAS A ROLLERCOASTER FROM THERE.” KATE THEN LEARNED SHE WOULD NEED A FULL HYSTERECTOMY. “THAT’S BEEN THE HARDEST PART FOR ME. I WAS TOLD I’D NEED A FULL HYSTERECTOMY BECAUSE THE TUMOURS WERE SUFFOCATING MY OVARIES. I WENT TO THREE DIFFERENT FERTILITY CLINICS TO GET THEIR ADVICE, BUT THEY ALL SAID THE SAME THING. THEY COULDN’T SAVE MY EGGS OR DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS TOO RISKY.” By sharing her story, Kate hopes to inspire others to advocate for their health and trust their instincts. “Just keep pushing for answers.” Her resilience serves as a beacon of hope for others facing similar challenges, reminding them that they are not alone and that it’s okay to seek support.
