Dear Martha,

I just wanted to take a second to thank you (Dr. Martin and Becky, the nurses, and front desk staff) for always making me feel so comfortable and welcome when I come into the office. I cannot imagine another doctor’s office being as wonderful as yours. You just don’t know how much that means to Brandon and me.  I get excited every time that I am coming in to see you all!  You all have taken such an interest in my pregnancy and that is so special – I will NEVER forget this experience at your office.  Please relay this message to the staff for me. I plan on writing a formal thank-you note after the delivery, but for now, I just want everyone to know how wonderful they have made my experience so far. I know sometimes you all might feel like your hard work and compassion go unnoticed, but IT DOES NOT.  I notice each and every “little” act of kindness you all do.  From asking me about the nursery, to joking around with Brandon, to wanting to hear Stewart’s heartbeat, to giving me prenatal vitamins (and the list goes on) – it all means so much!

READ HER FEATURE STORY HERE!!

Any woman can get ovarian cancer because the disease does not discriminate against race or age. All women are at risk, but some are at higher risk which includes:  family or personal history of ovarian, breast or colon cancer, post-menopausal women and women who have never been pregnant or given birth. 

For me, I had no identifiable risk factors.  I was young, healthy and had no relatives with ovarian cancer.  I started having irregular cycles, bloating and low back pain.  My provider, Rebecca Miller, PA-C ordered an ultrasound to discover I had an abnormal ovary.  After surgery with Dr. James T. Martin, I was shocked to hear that I had ovarian cancer.

After undergoing a daVinci hysterectomy for staging, I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer and required chemotherapy.  My wonderful GYN oncologist and his staff took great care of me during this life changing event.

On Thursday, September 15, 2011, I was blessed with the news that I am now cancer free!  I want to thank all of my care givers, family and friends that supported me during this journey. 

Early detection is the key to help reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.

Listen to your body, speak with your provider and take action.
