Re: Rip dianne oxberry

I, like so many others , am devastated. Such a shock and although I never really viewed North West out of habit , whenever I did, she was there, for the last 20 plus years. She was part of the household, and a cheery face at the end of a day.

Wishes of sympathy to her family.

BBC presenter Dianne Oxberry died from ovarian cancer

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-47042941



The husband of BBC journalist Dianne Oxberry has revealed she died suddenly from ovarian cancer.

Former Radio One presenter Oxberry died aged 51 at the Christie Hospital in Manchester earlier this month.

Her husband Ian Hindle said he wants to raise awareness about the "aggressive disease" and is hoping to set up a charity in his wife's memory.

He said money raised would "help families and individuals... suffering from this aggressive disease".

Mr Hindle added: "The aim is also to raise awareness about ovarian cancer and its after-effects, particularly where families have suffered sudden loss which can often be the case with this appalling disease."
Apparently, many women dismiss the early symptoms as "normal":

The three most common symptoms of ovarian cancer are:
  • Bloating that is persistent and does not come and go
  • Difficulty eating and feeling full more quickly
  • Abdominal or pelvic pain that is experienced most days

Other symptoms include:
  • Needing to pass urine more often or more urgently (feeling like you can't hold on);
  • Loss of appetite;
  • Nausea;
  • Unexplained weight change;
  • Pain in the lower abdomen or back;
  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding;
  • Pain during sex;
  • Changes in bowel or bladder habit such as constipation or diarrhoea, and
  • Breathlessness.

Most women with ovarian cancer have only some of the symptoms, or may not notice any for some time.

Women usually attributed their symptoms to other causes such as mid-life changes. Many noticed that their waists had got bigger but blamed mid-life weight gain and just bought larger clothing or garments with elasticated waists.
Perhaps Dianne thought her symptoms were due Xmas "excess" .....
