Watch Nadine's Story of Ovarian Cancer "Breaking the Silence"

Nadine was a strong individual who dedicated her life as a wife, mother, grandmother, community leader and nurse. The last thing that was going to happen to this vibrant and healthy woman was cancer. She was diagnosed and after a four-year battle, she passed away with this horrible disease of Ovarian Cancer. Ovarian Cancer can strike any women at any time regardless of age. Those symptoms that women experience on a monthly basis are not ones that you should take lightly. Have them checked, it could save your life. Nadine, with the support of her family, friends and community became an advocate to find an early detection test for Ovarian Cancer and because of her will, has generated more than $70,000 towards research for Colleen's Dream Foundation, one of the nation's leading advocate and fundraiser to help find an early detection.
