Léa's story with being diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 31.

Get Lippy Ambassador Léa Tirabasso joins our virtual panel event where she tells us her story of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 31.
Léa wants everyone to Get Lippy to get rid of the shame that surrounds women's bodies, so that everyone knows their normal and can spot when something is wrong.

So many Dr's ignore the symptoms I'm telling them because to them I'm young and healthy. I've had numerous Dr's be very rude and say oh you're too young to have that, young people don't get cancer. And then if you say anything back to that because obviously young people do get cancer then they say you're being argumentative.

Can’t believe how this girl was fobbed off for so long…

And my mother had ovarian cancer.

I have large masses on both my ovaries - they keep saying they "look" like cysts. They keep giving me ultrasounds and won't do anything further.

Ovarian cysts are very common; ovarian cancer is not. Try taking birth control pills for ninety days. This should resolve any cysts. If it does not, tell your doctor that you want your ovaries removed surgically.
