Battle scars: Raising awareness for Ovarian Cancer

I used to work with Charlene at HOT FM Gladstone, She was a sales rep and is a lovely kind lady. She worked like a champ right up to the point she was about to pop and then went on maternity leave to have her twins here in Gladstone. I went to her baby shower and got to visit the brand new little identical twin girls. Then work took her and her hubby elsewhere and we lost touch. We reconnected last month on Facebook and I was shocked and stunned when I heard what followed my last seeing her. I was taken back at the struggle she has faced with two little babies to look after and how strong she is to turn a negative into a positive. This is Charlene’s Story:

Only 12 months after Charlene Ericson married her partner and gave birth to beautiful twin girls, she started to feel unwell. They had just moved to the Northern Territory from Queensland and she had been in and out of doctors complaining of abdominal bloating, abdominal pains, back pain and weight gain. Charlene had been told a number of times that she was perfectly fine and was just experiencing normal women problems after giving birth to children.
