“As a mid-thirty something, I had a routine annual check-up that found pre-cancerous cells on my cervix. I was surprised and shocked when the doctor told me it wasn't 'if' I needed a hysterotomy it was 'when'. That 'when' came several short months after that diagnosis. I serve on the board to bring awareness and hope for women dealing with gyn cancer. You are not alone and have an army of women that have your back.”

Diana Tyndall, Former Board Member
