"I went to my primary doctor for pelvic pain, she sent me to the ER for possible appendicitis which led me to a three day hospital stay with numerous scans, tests, and then the diagnosis of stage IIIC ovarian cancer."

These boxes travel from our hands to hospital rooms, treatment centers, and homes across the country - carrying love, strength, solidarity, and the indomitable spirit of Ovarcoming. We love to deliver these personally when we can, it brings so much joy ❤️.
