ENDOMETRIOSIS: Hard to spell!


               Never happier than when holding a baby

Got any idea what “endometriosis” is?  Well, until just now neither did I.  It turns out to be a rather common woman’s disease involving “endometrial” tissue growing in places it oughtn’t to grow; probably not fatal, but distinctly uncomfortable.  Now scientists in Australia have found a genetic link between endometriosis and ovarian cancer.  Not a strong link, but a link just the same.   It is not obvious how this will help us eradicate OVCA, but of course every little bit of knowledge helps.  Let’s hope this does, soon.

Also, thanks for your best wishes on our 40th anniversary, and your contributions to her Fred Hutch fund.
