A mum was shocked to be diagnosed with a rare cancer - after doctors initially 'assumed' she had "just a cyst".

Rachael Misfud, 38, started suffering from extreme fatigue and bloating in 2023.

They were the same symptoms she had experienced a couple years prior when doctors found and removed multiple cysts from her ovary - so she returned to the GP.

An ultrasound revealed that Rachael, from Denham, Bucks., had a "mass" on her ovary - but doctors thought it was another cyst and placed her on a waiting list for surgery through the NHS.
