Rachel's story: Raising awareness of ovarian cancer

Rachel Wood from Lytham, Lancashire was determined to share her story in a bid to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

In the months before she died, she bravely documented her treatment as she underwent a drug trial at The Christie cancer hospital in Manchester.

"You can't be negative. There's no point," she told the BBC.
