"Thriving"

Mai had dreamed of being pregnant and having a child, but for years she knew something was off with her body — pain, fatigue, abnormal bleeding, irregular menstruation. It took follow-up appointments, second opinions, and her refusal to stop until she had an answer. Eventually, Mai received a diagnosis: ovarian cancer. Mai was only 26 when she was diagnosed. She survived, and her dream of becoming a mom came true, but she would face cancer again. Mai tells Dr. Don Dizon the difficult lessons she learned from having cancer as a young adult and how it transformed her into an advocate for herself and others.
