Episode 32 Doris Locke

Season 1 · Episode 32

Friday, June 14, 2024 • Duration 49:38

After a short break I am delighted to share this episode with you where I am honoured to be talking Doris Locke. Doris originates from America, but she now lives with her Husband in Norwich in the U.K. She was eventually diagnosed in 2017 with High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer after seeking medical help for some time for pain. We discuss how medical gaslighting is an issue in women’s health and that we are dismissed with less serious conditions before an eventual diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer. Doris spoke to me about the importance of the microbiome of our gut and nutrition to sustain health. We also talked about advocating for yourself, the importance of exercise and mindset, and the impact on those closest to us. Doris discussed the use of re-purposed drugs in the Care Oncology Clinic regime (similar to Jane McLellands “How to starve cancer”. I hope you will enjoy listening to the wisdom that Doris shares with us.

Be sure to leave a review and share your own experiences with us if you’d like to.

Jane is a very proactive lady who used the internet in a positive way to learn more about her disease and what was available to help her. Jane underwent surgery followed by conventional treatment with chemotherapy and she shared a funny story about her wig on Mother’s Day! We spoke about how Jane coped with the diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer and how her can-do attitude to life helped her through. She prefers to know the truth of what is happening as that helps her to understand and cope with what she is facing. Further on in her disease Jane sought less conventional treatment when she started to follow Jane McLellands regime. Then more recently, Jane developed Cancer on her Lip and underwent significant treatment which she also tells me about.

Wednesday, March 16, 2022 • Duration 01:00:26

‘Living with Ovarian Cancer Podcast’ is full of inspiring stories told by people who are living with or have a connection with Ovarian Cancer.

In this episode I talk to Alisi Jack-Kaufusi a young woman from Australia who was diagnosed with a combination of High Grade and Low Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer. Alisi talked very honestly about her symptoms and what led to her diagnosis. She told me about how she was made aware of her diagnosis just prior to being taken into the operating theatre for a biopsy and how shocked she was because she was only 24. We get to hear how Alisi’s cancer was managed with surgery and chemotherapy and how she coped with diagnosis and recurrences. We talk about what “toxic positivity” is and how it can affect our ability to feel the emotions we need to feel. Alisi has been a strong advocate in the Ovarian Cancer community and has been tirelessly raising awareness of this disease. She really is an inspiration, and I found her story heart wrenching to hear!

In this episode Alisi had just had a PET scan that day. I am so pleased to report that the scan shows a continued good response to Avastin (Bevacizimab). That good news is definitely something for us to celebrate.

In this episode Alisi mentioned the Low Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer support group on Facebook which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lgscsupport/about

We also spoke about Jane Ludeman and the charitable Trust that she founded called “Cure Our Ovarian Cancer”. The website can be found here: https://cureourovariancancer.org
