Nicole Lehrer began experiencing intense abdominal pain, nausea, and persistent urinary urgency—symptoms she couldn’t ignore. Despite seeing multiple specialists and being told she was fine, Nicole felt something was seriously wrong. It wasn’t until a routine OB-GYN visit and an ultrasound that doctors discovered a large mass, leading to her diagnosis of stage 4 ovarian cancer.
In this cancer vlog, Nicole opens up about her fight through aggressive chemotherapy, the impact of her second cancer diagnosis on her family, and the resilience it took to keep pushing for answers.
Thank you, Nicole, for sharing your story to help others.
