Saving Lives: Louise Altese Isidori's Ovarian Cancer Journey

The risk of developing ovarian cancer in a woman's lifetime is about 1 in 70. Most women don't know the symptoms, and many cases aren't diagnosed until the disease has already spread.

Known as the "Whisper Killer," ovarian cancer often presents with subtle signs that are easy to dismiss. But as you'll hear in this episode, some women may have no symptoms at all.

In this powerful episode of Shut Up! Tell Me More, host Pam Comiter sits down with ovarian cancer advocate and survivor Louise Altese Isidori to discuss the reality of this devastating disease. Louise has been featured on Good Morning America and in the New York Post, and has taken her advocacy all the way to Capitol Hill, fighting to make ovarian cancer screenings and conversations a routine part of women's healthcare.

Together, they discuss Louise's diagnosis, the emotional and physical realities of treatment, and how she continued to show up for her son and her life while battling cancer. They also talk about why ovarian cancer is so difficult to detect, why some women experience little to no symptoms, and the critical importance of advocating for yourself within the healthcare system.

Louise shares why she believes every woman should discuss transvaginal ultrasounds during their well-woman visits and why asking questions, seeking answers, and pushing for further evaluation can save lives.

Whether you're a woman or know a woman, this episode is an important reminder to listen to your body, advocate for yourself, and never be afraid to ask for more information.
