Words have consequences. They can be incredibly harmful & cause agonising pain. We can be too quick to say things about people we've never met or comment on conversations we know nothing about without thinking. Words have consequences. Just take a few moments to think #BeKind

Can you believe that 40% of UK women mistakenly believe that cervical screening detects ovarian cancer? Please spare a couple of mins to help bust this myth. I've taken action using Target Ovarian Cancer's email template.

Our reception was vital in raising awareness of the issues facing those diagnosed with #ovariancancer in #Scotland, and it was great to be joined by the Cabinet Secretary for Health, @neilcgray, and Minister for Public Health and Women’s Health, @jenni_minto.

@chary3822671@STVNews That's how is should be but sadly for a number of women with this disease, myself included have had to pay, due to horrendous waiting times. And no refund... as it was "our choice". Some choice... live or die. Hope you're keeping well mx
@GemmaR_DP@TargetOvarian I'm glad to have been able to help raise awareness. It was such a horrendous time, knowing that without the surgery, there was a chance I wouldn't live to tell the tale! Things need to change.
@neilcgray where do you stand re ovarian-cancer-patients having a life or death choice because they can't get the life saving surgery they need, when they need it, due to waiting times in West of Scotland? @theSNP@ScotGovFM@ScotLabCllrs#ovariancancer
Thank you Gayle, Irene, Mags, Deborah and Dorothy who met me last month and shared their difficulties in accessing life-saving ovarian cancer treatment.
Too many women in Scotland are forced to live in fear because of barriers to surgery. We need urgent action from @scotgov.
Today I had the privilege of joining these four ladies along with Jess and Rachel from @TargetOvarian at the Scottish Parliament today to talk about surgery delays in West of Scotland. Thank you for your support!
@MonicaLennon7@jackiebmsp@CMochan@jenni_minto
Today, Target Ovarian Cancer travelled to the Scottish Parliament with women affected by devastating surgery delays in the West of Scotland to meet the Minister for Women's and Public Health and MSPs to discuss plans to ensure every woman gets the surgery they need.
@ScotNational@HumzaYousaf If you can find £300million to plough into the NHS, you should be able to find the money to reimburse cancer patients that have had to fund their surgery privately #coughup
First question at #FMQs today on ovarian cancer and my constituent Mags McCaul, who along with Catherine Rae from my region and other courageous women shared their experiences with @ladymcbeth2 and @Sunday_Post. The situation is desperate. @TargetOvarian https://t.co/x5SVA8OSOo
I've just emailed my MP asking them to become a @TargetOvarian Cancer Champion and take urgent action on ovarian cancer awareness, diagnosis, treatment and support. Will you join me? https://t.co/Dm9gWK9lcS
