On September 6, 2016, Angela welcomed her beautiful baby girl, Valentina Isabella, into the world. Although a C-section was not the plan, it was this C-section that allowed doctor's to discover and ultimately diagnose Angela with Fallopian Tube Stage 3 Cancer. As if becoming a new mother was not enough to handle, Angela is relocating from New York to Virginia and she is currently undergoing treatment to rid her body of this disease. We appreciate your love, prayers and words of hope during this time.

I know Angela is passionate about bringing awareness to Ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal cancer. Please remember...

They go so undetected. There is no screening for these cancers like breast cancer. They call it the silent killer. These cancers are very rare but some of the symptoms are: bloating, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, urgency to urinate, feeling full really quickly after eating. Be in tuned with your body. Think outside the bra and get a thorough exam on your pelvic region. Any woman over the age of 35, should be getting a rectal-vaginal exam. If you are due for your yearly, insist on the proper method in examining your pelvic region. This is the most accurate way to properly examine a woman. If you have a family history of cancer you should be checked before 35 and ask for genetic testing.
