Cork mother who lost daughter to ovarian cancer urges women to ‘know your body’

Ovarian cancer is the disease that whispers, so people should listen carefully, advises Juliette Casey whose daughter, Emer, died ten years ago from the disease.

The young Corkwoman’s family founded the Emer Casey Foundation in 2006 to promote awareness of the disease as the symptoms can often be missed.

The foundation, at the weekend, presented two mobile ultrasound scanners to St James’s Hospital in Dublin.
