I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer on January 6, 2020. I could not find any surgeon who would even see me within a 3 hour radius of my home in Indiana. I had to wait until May 14, 2020 to get surgery, in which time i had waited my large tumor had ruptured and i had cancerous adhesions all over the inside of my abdomen and on my abdominal wall. I was told Ihad to wait because my surgery was considered "elective".
