Time to Shout with Elana Waldman

Elana Waldman was diagnosed with stage IIIc ovarian cancer on August 19, 2005 when she was just 32 years old. The doctors initially thought, because of her age, that the cancer was not that advanced. As it turned out, she had only a 30 percent chance of surviving five years. Her five-year anniversary is now being marked by her starting this video blog. In this "vlog", she will share with you her daily struggles as she lives with the "cancer that whispers". In turn, you can support her and her efforts to raise awareness about this disease, which is extremely difficult to detect, by joining the conversation. Share your thoughts, comments, questions and together we can help shout out ovarian cancer.
