Making Waves: The Story Behind Plunge for the Cure
From childhood memories to global aspirations, every plunge counts in the fight against ovarian cancer. Dive into our latest episode with Jim Shepard to learn more!
#MakingWaves #GOSHpodcast
Bio: Meet Jim Shepard. The co-chairs of Plunge for the Cure. The Plunge for the Cure Foundation is a registered Canadian charity that was established to raise funds for drug and treatment development targeting ovarian cancer. Jim initiated the foundation motivated by a family member's diagnosis and the alarming five-year survival rate of under 40 percent.
The foundation's focal point is an annual event held on the last Sunday in May, where individuals and teams engage in fundraising and take part in celebrating the arrival of summer by plunging into the water. These funds are directed towards the world-renowned UBC/VGH research facilities in Vancouver.
The episode aims to spotlight ovarian cancer issues, sharing the inspiring stories and efforts of individuals like Jim Shepard. Their collective goal is to increase awareness and improve outcomes for ovarian cancer, making a meaningful impact in the ongoing fight against this challenging disease.

    I have a 7.5 cm mass that has been diagnosed as a reoccurring Berlin cyst. I’ve had two marsipuplizations and both times it came back within a month. This time I’ve let it go for three years as it wasn’t causing any pain just discomfort. It wasn’t until I learned about vulvar cancer that I became worried and went to my gynecologist. He immediately said it’s a Bartholin cyst, and will do another marsupialization July15th or a complete gland, removal, depending how it goes when he’s in there. i’m terrified of being misdiagnosed as his reason for thinking it’s not cancer was because I’m not yet 50. I am 47 in June! I feel doctors don’t take you serious and this could ultimately be serious. I had a hysterectomy at 27 so never went for Pap smears, either then discomfort and constipation. It doesn’t really bother me often. It helps to sit on the toilet at work to relieve pressure because of the size but I’m sure they don’t understand because comments have been made. What symptoms have you noticed before being diagnosed, I have constipation and occasional sharp pain in the groin leaving me struggling to walk at times. I am so scared because it’s been so long with the mass and how often and fast the reoccurrence. The dr was shocked by the size but said “it’s not the largest he’s seen” Please don’t mind the grammar and spelling as I’ve been Listening toyour video while driving. I have to use talk to text so if this comment does not make sense, please understand. I’m not trying to compare I just would like to know some of your symptoms before you were diagnosed officially? If it’s too personal to discuss, I totally understand. I want to thank you for reaching out and sharing your story because of you, I am having my surgery July 15.

    After a year, i finally went to see my doctor. He told me i had cancer and was referring me to specialists asap. They did a biopsy and was told it was vulva cancer. I went through the exact same emotions and pain from my operation and radiation. It was a long, hard road. I recently found another tumor, and yet another biopsy was done. I'm waiting for the phone call.

    Im having a similar problem. Diagnosed in 2014 with cervical cancer. Went through chemotheraphy and radiotherapy. My problem back then and even now is that GPs don't take you seriously. They prescribe medication and antiotics that don't work. After 18months of bleeding and severe pain I insisted that I be seen by a gyneacilogist. Only after seeing her was a biopsy done and it was determined to be cervical cancer. I have since changed my GP. Apart from eveything else I am having excruciating pain in my vulva. He has prescribed antibiotics for the third time. I suggested me seeing a gyneacologist and his response was we can fix this theres no need to see a gyneacologist. How much longer should I suffer before I get help. Since 2018 I have been to the ER 3 times and on each visit I was admitted for 5 days or more. But the hospital investigation was for a blocked colon and kidney problem. I will take it upon myself to make an appointment with a gyneacologist to have a biopsy done so we can figure out what the problem is.

    If men had fallopian tubes this issue would have been recognized and dealt with long ago. How long did it take for breast cancer to be given the high profile it deserved? A long time because it was a "woman's disease. You may think we've come "a long way, baby" but in fact woman's health issues are not a #1 priority to the medical world.

    This story is important to be shared for all women to know that you can struggle to get diagnosed with vulvar cancer even now in 2022/2023. And sadly, her statement that employers now vs then isn’t true. Work is still shit and people will still be treated like replaceable cogs, even requesting a selfie at the er. There are sections with overlapping voiceovers - it makes that section incomprehensible. Like around 11:00 minutes in when the radical vulvectomy is being explained.
