On November 22, 2013 she had laparoscopic surgery to remove an endometrioma from her right ovary. A sample was taken from that endometrioma and on December 2, 2013, her pathology results revealed that she had ovarian cancer. After receiving a second opinion it was confirmed by a Gynecologic Oncologist on December 9, 2013, that the diagnosis had been correct. She had another surgery (unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) as well as chemotherapy scheduled for December 19, 2013 and chemotherapy soon thereafter.
