Wife to Mark and mother of two, Kel Pittman was just 43 years old when she was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer in 2014.
From what was suspected to be a case of bloating and irritable bowel syndrome for nine months by her doctors, Kel was given the shock diagnosis.
After undergoing immediate treatment and being declared in remission, Kel, like many ovarian cancer patients, unfortunately suffered numerous reccurences – the cancer had come back, and more aggressively.
Since her diagnosis, Kel became a passionate OCRF ambassador, a committed advocate for women living with ovarian cancer and a valuable member of the OCRF's Consumer Representative Panel, to ensure her daughter Mollie, wouldn't face the same threat of ovarian cancer.
