Did you have to advocate for yourself in order for a healthcare provider to listen to you?

Oftentimes, with ovarian cancer, symptoms and concerns are dismissed by providers. Have you had to advocate for yourself to get the right diagnosis?

    1. I did not. I say this often but I truly feel that my Primary Care Physician saved my life. Her swift actions were pivotal in me receiving the care that was needed.
