Every day women are fighting battles. Some right in our own home with ourselves,
our children, spouse, health, financial struggles, worrying day in and day out
about the hope that everything will be ok no matter how big or small the
situation may be and never knowing what may arise. We want everything to be "ok"
and most of all, we want to win each
battle. We say winning is not
everything, well it is. Especially when
it comes to the battle of your life.
Women fight with even more courage, strength and determination than
ever, and this is when losing is not an option.
I have had the honor of amazing women share their stories of
the most heroic battles and in my heart I wanted the timing to be right when it
came time to sharing their journeys with you.
The timing couldn't be better to lift each other up and let each other
know, "it'll be ok, you got this".
With school right around the corner, what a great way, I
felt, to start off this series than to
recognize this amazing teacher, mother, and friend, Mrs. Jenni Olson. I cannot thank her enough for taking the time to write and share in her own words her journey of survival. I know her story will inspire others, so please read, share and remember, "you got this."

My name is Jenni; I am a wife, a mom, a kindergarten teacher
and
I am an Ovarian Cancer Survivor.
I was diagnosed on Good Friday in April of
2012, after the pathology on a large cyst that I had removed came back
positive. I was completely blindsided when I received the call from my doctor.
Cancer was not something that I had even considered or had even discussed with
my doctor as a possible concern before the surgery. After all there was no history of Ovarian
Cancer in my family.
