Thank you for joining Team 5-Kate as we take a stand together to Fight On to find a cure!
My fight began, five years ago, on April 20, 2013 when I was diagnosed with Stage 3C Ovarian Cancer. Since my diagnosis I have experienced the ups and downs with several reoccurences, but am feeling great again!
I FIGHT ON for Cancer Research...becasuse of advances that are continuing to be made, I was able to repeat an innovative treatment option called HIPEC, when my cancer came back in September 2016. HIPEC or Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy is a highly concentrated, heated chemotherapy treatment that is delivered directly to the site of the disease. During a 10-hour surgery the cancer was debulked from my body and a heated chemotherapy was washed through my abdomen, with the goal of killing any remaining cancer cells.
I feel very fortnuate to have such a wonderful team of doctors at the West Cancer Center and friends and family, like you, who have supported me every step of the way.
I am looking forward to this year's WEST FIGHT ON on Saturday, September 15, 2018! With your support, we can ensure no cancer patient in the Mid-South fights alone.
Thank you for visiting the Team 5-Kate page and as always thank you for your love and support!
