Elly Mayday and her diagnosis of ovarian cancer

Elly Mayday had some problems at the age of 25. After several tests, the doctors diagnosed that she had stage 3 ovarian cancer. But there was a lag period of 2.5 years before the diagnosis was made.

She told Health magazine:

“I had [gone] undiagnosed for about 2.5 years. Through menopause, [a] hysterectomy, recurrences and chemo…I merged my modeling career into the life I was now fighting for.”

She was operated on to remove the tumor and also underwent a course of chemotherapy with its side effects on her body. Elly Mayday was not shy to share all the details of her treatment with her social media fans. She documented every detail of her journey to her followers including her surgery scar and the chemo side-effects on her body.

Elly wrote:

“Little things take energy. Brushing your teeth, washing your hands, showering when able. Don’t be too tough, if you need a painkiller. Take one,” she continued. “I always try and handle the pain but sometimes ya can’t.”

She wrote and informed people of the disease. Additionally, she asked them to seek early medical care if they think that something is not right with their body. Ovarian cancer has fewer and vague symptoms.

Hence its diagnosis gets delayed. Additionally, she told the people with a similar disease that they are not alone. She inspired women to love their bodies. She also used her plus size to let people know about the disease.

It appeared in between that she had overcome ovarian cancer and won the battle against it. But it made a comeback in 2017. She was a warrior and updated her fans about her condition on social media.

Elly Mayday and her relapse of ovarian cancer

Her posts related to the relapse of ovarian cancer started in June 2018. At that time, Elly had some pain and her family shifted her to the ER. She wrote on her social media at that time:

“Things changed very quickly for me this week and I’m just trying to sort it out now but I feel the plan is coming together,”

Elly added a picture of her in a hospital bed. She added:

“I had a plan to take chemo and possibly have an operation to remove tumor and scar tissue, which is blocking my bowel from working,”

Elly’s previous surgery ended in giving rise to a severe form of scar tissue which later was entrapping and blocking her bowel. Elly continued with her post:

“I’ve spent the past two days not having anything move through me. Consistently vomiting. This morning I went into ER and I’ve been admitted. The blockage is complete so we’re doing another tube to relieve the stress and pain.”
