Sue, Ovarian Cancer that Spread Throughout the
Body
A 68-year-old
grandmother of three from Bethesda, Maryland, Sue describes herself
as "kind of a jock." Her passion is golf and she loves running
around in the backyard with her 8-year-old twin granddaughters and
6-year-old grandson.
But, in 2003, the discovery of a tumour in her
abdomen – the result of metastasised ovarian cancer that she had
been diagnosed with six years prior – threatened to drastically
change the life she enjoyed.

"When you’re diagnosed with a brain tumour,
you don’t hear much more after they say the words ‘brain tumour,’"
said Donald, a 71-year old from Mountain View, California. "I was
shocked. I had no reason to believe there was anything that
seriously wrong with me."
