Before her ovarian cancer diagnosis, Trish Kifer was a kindergarten teacher. Now she’s a teacher of a different kind, helping other cancer survivors through their journeys. “I want to help others and be a navigator for them and their path,” says Kifer, who in 2021 published a book, Knowing the B.A.S.I.I.C.S. Can Save Your Life! A guide for women with ovarian cancer in diagnosing, treating, and living with their disease, the book contains lessons such as knowing the early symptoms, paying attention to your body, becoming your own advocate, learning as much as you can, and finding the right team.
