Ovarian Cancer with Enid Wolhstein

I sat down to talk with Enid about her journey with Ovarian Cancer. We talk about how she found out, her treatment plan, women's risk and so much more. Enid shared during our conversation, "I said off air that getting the ovarian cancer diagnosis was a gift.
Going through surgeries and chemo the year I turned 50 was not on wish list.  But during the hardest event of my life, I learned about love.
Love from community, from family, my husband and son.  They carried the biggest burden of caring for me.  I got clarity.  Cancer broke off my edges, and made me comfortable in my skin.  My heart expanded.  I learned to accept limitations and find grace, for myself and others.  I'm 3 years "no evidence of disease" and grateful beyond
words for all I learned through my treatment and surgeries."
