Don't you love how life has this way of throwing you a curve ball? Dead battery before work, sick kids on a Monday morning. I don't care who you are you had one thrown your way. I had one thrown my way this February, but it wasn't just any curve ball, it was one in the dirt, waaay outside.

The musings of a young woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer

Ovarian Cancer makes up 1.3% of all cancers each year, with an average 5 year survival rate of 46.2% (this is all stages combined).
