Only 46% of all UK women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will still be alive 5 years later. Determined not to sink into self-pity, Ursula decided that she would continue her travels and walk between her home in mid Wales and hospital appointments in Bristol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis decision led to her plan to walk Wales, publicising the need for early detection for the disease, which kills far too many patients due to ignorance of symptoms.
