Symptoms, Stigma, Survival: Raising Ovarian Cancer Awareness with Sue Rizzello

Sue Rizzello opens up about the hard realities of ovarian cancer: late diagnosis, ambiguous symptoms, aggressive treatment and a decade of follow-up scans that fuel “scanxiety.” She explains the key symptoms (persistent bloating, early satiety, pelvic pain, urinary changes), the limitations of current tests like CA125, and the importance of raising awareness among both women and men. Sue also discusses advocacy work, involvement with charities and the emotional complexity of celebrating survival while remembering those lost to the disease.
