Her family said it was normal, but it wasn't

This is a real-life incident. We share the story of an 18-year-old PUC student who, like many, dismisses her persistent abdominal pain as just part of her period. Her family reassures her that it’s 'normal.' But when the pain doesn’t go away, a visit to the doctor uncovers a devastating truth: ovarian cancer. At Cytecare Hospitals, we’re sharing this story to raise awareness about the importance of not ignoring persistent pain and to challenge the stigma of normalizing period discomfort. Early detection can truly make a difference. #ListenToYourBody #OvarianCancerAwareness #BreakTheStigma
