Graduate who ignored cancer symptoms like bloating for months urges women to see doctor if they are worried
A graduate who ignored her own cancer symptoms for months is urging other young women to go and see a doctor if they are worried. Chloe Etheridge, 24, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer seven months after she started feeling ill. She "ignored" symptoms like bloating and difficulty with eating until her stomach pain became too bad, she says. She then went to A&E in April 2022, where they did an ultrasound - which revealed she had two tumours on her ovaries. Chloe, from Whitstable, Kent, had removal surgery earlier this month and is expected to make a full recovery. But she wants to speak out to urge other young women to see a doctor if they are worried - and is challenging "misconceptions". Chloe said: "Book your GP appointment and don't stop going until you get an answer. "If you feel like you don't have an adequate answer - keep going back." Chloe says she first started experiencing what she now knows to be ovarian cancer symptoms in December 2021. These included bloating, eating problems and abdominal pains. But she ignored them for months, only going to see a doctor in April last year when the pain became too severe. Chloe said: "I ignored all of those things - which wasn't the right thing to do. "In April I had really bad stomach pain so I had to go to A&E and I found out I had tumours on my ovaries. One was 18cm long and one was 11cm long. "Between April and July, we knew there was something wrong with me but we didn't know exactly what my diagnosis was which took three months." Chloe received her diagnosis on July 11, 2022 - and was told to pack her bags and go for chemotherapy the next day at Charing Cross Hospital in London. She said: "I was relieved to finally get a diagnosis. The waiting was horrible and knowing all the time it is growing bigger I wanted to get started on the treatment. "I thought it would be a really cinematic moment where you go to the doctor with your mum and cry - but it was nothing like that. "You go into action mode. I had to get on, it was a busy time, and I felt numb thinking, 'Right we need to get on with this'." Chloe was diagnosed with germ-cell ovarian cancer - a disease in which cancer cells form in the germ cells of the ovary. She said: "This cancer mainly affects young women and children. "Since then I have had six months of chemotherapy, which I started the day after my diagnosis. "The doctor said it was one of the most aggressive forms of chemo they could prescribe and it is only available at two hospitals in the …
