“I don’t think I’ll ever feel like I’m cancer-free.”
Cobie Smulders, best known for her role as Robin on How I Met Your Mother, has revealed she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 25.
Smulders, now 33, says she found out while How I Met Your Mother was in its prime success.
“I had tumors on both ovaries,” Smulders told Women’s Health.
“And the cancer had spread into my lymph nodes and surrounding tissues.”

Thank you for this story, it is so important to highlight the difficulties with diagnosing ovarian cancer. Disclaimer, I am an ambassador for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) and awareness and fundraising for them is a passion of mine.
If you want to support research to find an early detection test, right now Witchery are selling a special range of white shirts will gross proceeds going to the Ovarian Cancer Support Foundation. Next Friday 1 May is White Shirt Day, the culmination of the campaign.
If you are in Canberra, I'm hosting a fundraising cocktail party next Friday. It is going to be a great night, drinks, canapes, live music, the chance to win some fab prizes all for just $40. All the details are at: www.whiteshirtdaycocktails....
