Florida has one of the highest rates of ovarian cancer in the nation

Florida has one of the highest rates of ovarian cancer in the nation, and to make matters worse, ovarian cancer is the deadliest form of cancer that affects women. “We wanted to know why she got this,” said Stephanie. Stephanie’s Mother died from ovarian cancer in 2011. “It’s a cancer that originates from the female organs such as the ovary, fallopian tubes or, also, from the peritoneal that’s located in the abdomen and pelvis,” said Dr. Joel Cardenas with Cleveland Clinic Weston.

Bless her! These are things that are passed down. It takes that one brave person to step forward and to make awareness😊❤. Happy birthday!

I have been battling ovarian cancer for the last two years…I live in Venice, Florida. I never had symptoms until after 4 years since I moved here, and I have no family history of ovarian cancers. When I was diagnosed, I was told it started a year before at most, and I had lived here for 3 years at that point. What the HELL is in the Floridian diet/air/water?
