Season 5 Episode 5: Beyond the Diagnosis: A Legacy of Impact

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. Resources:Donate to the Nancy McKinstry Endowment Fund for Ovarian Cancer at https://donate.bccancerfoundation.com/site/TR?px=2927503&fr_id=4394&pg=personal&s_src=LNY20 For more information on the Gynecologic Cancer Initiative, please visit https://gynecancerinitiative.ca/ or email us at [email protected]  Where to learn more about us:  Twitter – @GCI_Cluster Instagram – @gynecancerinitiative Facebook – facebook.com/gynecancerinitiativeTikTok – @gci_gosh
