Praise God! I am in my 6th year fighting Ovarain Cancer!!! I had a recurrence in 2020-21 and have now been in remission for a second time for 2.5 years!!! Amazingly, I have outlived my 5 year prognosis but that does not mean I am cancer free.
With OC, a small number of cells usually lie dormant after treatment, and they wait for an opportunity to start growing exponentially. I am now considered to have a chronic cancer, with a 99% chance of recurrence at any time. I really am depending on research for more effective drugs.
I am the Team Captain for Fighting In Faith for the Gail Parkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Walk & 5K Run. Event day- September 23, 2023 at Sanderson High School in Raleigh, NC.
Please join us - it’s more fun to walk with friends!!
You can support me by registering and walking with us on Sept 23 or by donating any amount to our team. Any gift amount, great or small, helps to raise money and awareness in our fight against ovarian cancer.Duke is making progress with new and better treatments. We greatly appreciate any support that you can afford and will keep you posted on our progress.
Once again, thank you for your generous support! Together we can make a difference!
With a grateful heart,
Kathy
