Donna D.

Patient Celebrates 13 Year Cancerversary Living with Late-Stage Diagnosis

In the 2010s, Donna noticed some subtle differences in her health, including bloating and changes to her weight. As someone who has always been proactive about her health, she made appointments with various doctors for testing and diagnostics, and everything appeared fine. However, after a bout of appendicitis, she soon learned she had a rare and advanced type of ovarian cancer.

She began her treatment at FCS with Dr. Gordan in Gainesville and has been under his care for the last 13 years. In that time, she has been on 13 different chemo drugs, clinical trials, and immunotherapy, all while keeping a positive outlook and smile on her face. She credits her incredible support system and FCS team, which has become her family, for her long-term success.
