She was diagnosed with cancer and faced gruelling chemotherapy rounds A woman has been diagnosed with cancer after a routine health check found she had cysts in her ovaries totalling the size of a six-month-old foetus. Natasha Inman says she had no symptoms before her annual health check with her GP, aside from being slightly bloated, but when she was examined they found a mass in her ovaries. Scans and tests confirmed her worst fears - she had four cysts on her ovaries totalling 40cm - the size of a 30-week foetus. Natasha, 33, from Leeds but now living in Dubai, said: "When the doctor told me, I was in shock and didn't believe it. I'd had no symptoms, I was just a bit bloated, but I never would have gone to the doctors about it - it wasn't affecting my life very much. "I think, looking back now, I did struggle at the gym for about three months, especially anything that involved lying on my stomach - but again, I didn't think much of it. [I thought it was] just bloating perhaps." After doctors found the cysts, Natasha, who works in finance, had a caesarean section to remove them and they were sent off for testing. She said: "I didn't think anything of it, I just started to get back on with my life and work. Two weeks later the doctor messaged me to say I needed to come and see her, and to bring a friend with me. "Again, I didn't think anything of this, I just thought maybe it is standard routine. [When they told me] I was in shock and it was all a bit of a blur. The thing that scared me the worst was the word chemotherapy and the thought of losing my hair. "I've kept such long healthy hair for all of my life and I couldn't imagine that being taken away from me." On May 4, Natasha was officially diagnosed with stage 1 grade 3 germ cell teratoma ovarian cancer. She said: "Having a family has always been a dream of mine so to have the option of having my own child possibly taken away from){kind=link}
