Ovarian Cancer Survivor
At 22, Katie woke up one morning with abdominal pain, which she wrote off as muscle pain or stomach upset. When the pain worsened, she saw a doctor, who found cancer on her left ovary.
Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon scenario and even young women can develop cancer. Watch this brief video to hear more of Katie’s story. Katie says she felt scared and was in disbelief that such a thing could happen to her. But the doctor who eventually removed her ovary and fallopian tube helped her overcome and move beyond the disease.
Now, Katie is cancer-free and feeling great. She tells other women not to let fear or uncertainty keep them from getting answers and treatment.
