Nobody Has Ovarian Cancer: The Soft Whispers of a Fierce Blow

I go by #Servivorgirl. Celebrating almost 14 years since diagnosis of stage IIIC ovarian cancer, recently restaged to IVB. My blog is called Nobody Has Ovarian Cancer because I felt like a nobody upon the eventual correct diagnosis. Being told multiple times that I was too young to have ovarian cancer, I did not receive the proper testing. I am so grateful to Him for all those who allow me to share my love, to those who love me and those who treat my illness. I praise Him always.

Join Yale University to do the WALC-N Study

Hello Teal Family,

I am grateful to be participating in a very important study, about walking and our health as women who have experienced the wrath of ovarian cancer. If you, or any woman you know, is interested in participating in this very important study, please contact Yale University. This is a fully randomized study.

Please forward this to all of your teal sisters. There is no other study of this nature being offered in the Ovarian Cancer community. Your participation could save a life.

From WALC-N Study at Yale University:

We are inviting women diagnosed with ovarian cancer and living anywhere in the USA to participate in the

WALC-N Study (sounds like “walking”).

This research study will examine if a 6-month home-based walking program, with weekly phone calls and counseling from our certified personal trainer, will improve quality of life, fatigue and other ovarian cancer outcomes.
