Hi, my name is Maria LaCorte and I battled Ovarian Cancer.

I was diagnosed with this unthinkable disease in November of 2006, and underwent a 6 hour operation when my Dr gave me a complete hysterectomy, along with the removal of several tumors in my abdomen. I have completed my sessions of chemotherapy. I had some really bad days, and then I had some good days, those which I have decided to dedicate some time to educate and bring awareness to others about Ovarian Cancer.

The symptoms are silent:
• Abdominal discomfort, bloating, a feeling of fullness, gas
• Frequent urination
