Janey Godley has teamed up with the Beatson Cancer Charity and urged others to look out for symptoms.
The Scots comedian was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the end of last year.
At the start of the year, Janey underwent a hysterectomy but even after the surgery she was told she would need to undergo further treatment as her cancer had progressed to stage 3b.
This means there are cancer growths 2cm or smaller in size on the lining of the abdomen and there may also be cancer in the lymph nodes.
Janey is currently undergoing her fourth round of chemotherapy but has now urged others to look out for symptoms and seek medical attention.
The 61-year-old took to Instagram as she teamed up with the Beatson, where she attends for treatment.
Donning her yellow Beatson top, Janey said: "Hi my name is Janey Godley and I have ovarian cancer and it's a very sneaky cancer so I just want to highlight some of the symptoms.
"Feeling really bloated like I was. I was on tour doing stand-up and I felt really bloated and full of fluid, I felt squishy.
She added: "I couldn't eat a full meal as soon as I started eating, I felt full. I had quite a lot of reflux.
"I was very uncomfortable and bloated down here, going to have a wee every other minute - if you've got a bladder like a scatter cushion you're bloated, you're feeling full all the time and you're very uncomfortable out front and exhausted.
"Go to your doctor, speak, mention these symptoms. Speak about ovarian cancer. Don't let it be the silent killer.
"I want to thank the Beatson and everybody there who are helping me with the chemotherapy. Hopefully I will beat this. There is more people living with cancer than dying with it and that's what I want to be - one of them.
"Thank you so much for your support, look up 'ovarian cancer symptoms' and get checked."
And many of Janey's followers flocked to the comments to praise her for the video.
One wrote: "Thanks Janey- I’ve always thought it odd that we don’t hear about the early symptoms of cancer. You’re doing so much to provide this important information and I love you for it."
Another added: "You got this janey . Keep fighting."
While one said: "You are an inspiration to all of us, keep on doing whatever it is that makes you better and thank you for highlighting this."
