My Story…

On New Year’s Day 2014, I awoke with a lump in my abdomen. Soon after I was diagnosed for the first time with stage III ovarian cancer. Treatment to bring the disease into remission consisted of a full hysterectomy and six months of chemotherapy. I bravely faced the second diagnosis with the same smile and positive attitude that I have had my entire life. Understanding the sense of urgency to address the new tumors on my lung and spleen I made the decision to seek treatment at the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Center. As the 2nd occurrence progressed I was hospitalized with neutropenia, the effects of which caused severe fevers and respiratory issues. Miraculously I recovered and went into remission a 2nd time. As of this date, cancer has returned a third time & a fourth time, and is now considered chronic but I remain steadfast to assist in any way possible to eradicate this terrible disease by supporting the Delaware Ovarian Cancer Society.
