Some highlights from #WorldOvarianCancerDay in @DundrumTC A big thank you to all who volunteered today #BEAT

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported #WorldOvarianCancerDay 💙 The sight of buildings lighting up in teal is truly inspiring, together we are raising awareness, honouring those affected, and driving change. #GoTeal

Delighted to see buildings across the country lighting up to raise awareness for World Ovarian Cancer Day on May 8th, including our CEO Building @CancerInstIRE @stjamesdublin. Together, we shine a light on ovarian cancer & the importance of awareness, early detection & support.

Well done to @Shotoole81 and team for their continued efforts to draw attention to Ovarian Cancer

Please take the time to read the attached post, highlighting signs of ovarian cancer. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes, but we need to know what to look out for. X

“When you go to your GP surgery there are no posters up about ovarian cancer..”I want people to listen to their body.If you know something is not right get it checked out. Be aware of symptoms of #OvarianCancer & always have them at the back of your mind” chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

Today is World Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day (World Ovarian Cancer Coalition (worldovariancancercoalition.org/about-us/)) World awareness days in general are commercially sponsored events. Much of the time, there is an underlying real root problem. Ovarian cancer is a real problem, that breaks me, bit by bit, week by week. Unlike cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer, it does not result in symptoms (like bleeding, pain) at very early stages, and is more often diagnosed at later stages. Unlike cervical cancer, international efforts to develop effective screening tests - that result in more good than harm overall - have so far largely failed. There are emerging technologies that might change screening for ovarian cancer, but they are not proven yet. The mitigation strategy for the failure to discover a useful screening test is early symptomatic diagnosis. It is the best we can do. The sooner ovarian cancer is diagnosed, the earlier the stage, the better. More treatment options, better long term outcomes. Why ovarian cancer causes normal life, out of the blue, to go sideways: As ovarian cancers grow, they take up more and more space in the pelvis, they can cause a build up of fluid causing swelling and weight gain, and it can paralyse the bowel. This can feel like bloating more than expected, a lack or appetite, feeling full after eating little, or nausea (feeling sick), abdominal pain, particularly cramping pains that tend to come in waves, and constipation. Bowels not right. Unusual bowel/abdominal problems that persist for more than a week, for example. BEAT If anything like that happens, get it checked. At any age, but most commonly 50-70. In general, if it is unusual, and persistent, anything changing faster than normal, trust your instinct. breakthroughcancerresearch.ie/news/wocd-2026/

On #WOCD26 we are delighted to share in this video how important the @cancertrials_ie tBRCA trial is for patients and medics. Another important milestone for The Emer Casey Foundation. Thank you for all the collaboration and support. # NoWomanLeftBehind. canva.com/design/DAHIPHs…

In the near future I believe there'll be a reliable screening test to catch #OvarianCancer early. In the meantime all we have is symptom recognition to aid early detection. Every woman must know the #BEAT symptoms. Do you know them? #NoWomanLeftBehind #WorldOvarianCancerDay

On #WOCD26 A shout out to the partners and loved ones who support our mission to spread awareness about the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer. Love ya Pat. @PatFlan60 #nowomanleftbehind @ovacare @Isgoppi

⛔️ STOP SCROLLING Let’s not #BEAT around the bush: knowing these 4 symptoms saves lives 1️⃣ Bloating that is persistent 2️⃣ Eating difficulty/feeling full quickly 3️⃣ Abdominal or pelvic pain 4️⃣ Toilet habit changes Learn them. Share them. Now you can keep scrolling 🩵
