Hi. My name is Elise Suchocki. On May 8, 2023 my world was totally disrupted with the diagnosis of stage 4 High Grade / Low Grade Ovarian Cancer.

I began my journey at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute with three rounds of Carbo/Taxo chemotherapy. I then had a debulking surgery in August 2023. This included a total hysterectomy, removal of my appendix, and a bowel resection. I then underwent another three rounds of chemotherapy. My current treatment includes an infusion of Avastin every 21 days and daily dosage of Lynparza and Letrozole.

I started Teal Warriors as a way to heighten awareness about Ovarian Cancer. I also want to share my experience, strength, and hope for a disease that has no symptoms in its early stage.
