IBCORA Nanay

IBCORA Nanay is Ibcora Goldilock's 58 year old mother who is a nurse at the local hospital. She is a 3 year survivor of ovarian cancer and wants everyone to know that ovarian cancer is one of those cancers that is often not discovered in its earliest stage. Because there currently is no generally recommended screening test in women who are not found to be genetically predisposed, women need to be mindful of pelvic symptoms and know that a family history of ovarian cancer should alert other family members about potential genetic predisposition for cancer. Fortunately, her ovarian cancer is the very reason her daughter got her genetic counseling, genetic testing and a mammogram after finding she was in a high- risk category for breast cancer. With so much cancer in the family, Ibcora Nanay really appreciated getting her Goldilocks Screening Plan and makes sure she gets her 3D mammogram every year. She remembers how worried she was when “her baby” was diagnosed with breast cancer.
