One woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer every 24 minutes. 22,000 women this year. One woman dies from ovarian cancer every 37 minutes. 15,000 women this year. My friends Kathy and Toni are no longer with us. Both women fought hard - so hard. They both were outstanding professional women. Over achievers indeed. Kathy [...]
