Season 5 Episode 5: Beyond the Diagnosis: A Legacy of Impact
Description
In this episode of the GOSH Podcast, we kick off our rare cancer series with the inspiring Nancy McKinstry. In 2005, Nancy was diagnosed with clear cell ovarian cancer. Since then, she has embraced her “second life” by championing ovarian cancer research, helping secure $100 million in funding and creating initiatives like the Nancy McKinstry Trainee Excellence Award. Despite a recent recurrence, Nancy continues to make a lasting impact, growing an ovarian cancer research endowment now exceeding $934,000. Her story is one of resilience, generosity, and unwavering commitment to the future of women’s health. Join us as we discuss her journey, the lessons she’s learned, and the legacy she’s building for generations to come.
