Louise Altese-Isidori had no symptoms that would hint she was battling an aggressive cancer that was quietly spreading. After following her fertility doctor’s advice to have regular ultrasounds, a worrying ovarian cyst was found. Negative cancer tests gave false reassurance, but surgery uncovered widespread Stage 4 cancer.
Removing seven organs was necessary to try to save her life. Despite the challenges, Louise recently learned she is in remission, thanks to treatment and ongoing therapies. Her story demonstrates how deadly cancers can develop without symptoms and the life-saving value of early imaging tests.
