PROTEINS AGAINST OVCA


                          Linda selects gourds to decorate

                                         Probably about  2005

This is a serious piece describing research inching us toward a cure for HGSOC .  HGSOC (high-grade serous ovarian cancer) is one of the most common types of OC, and also the most deadly; only about 35% of women diagnosed with HGSOC survive for five years.  Linda had HGSOC; she died after only about 3 1/2 years.

I am not going to try to summarize this excellent essay; read it yourself – and perhaps take a little heart.  With smart people like this working hard we will whip this SOB yet!
