rtified Physicians' Coder (CPC) with UW Physicians in Seattle. Mary's early cancer symptoms were misdiagnosed and the disease reached an advanced stage before being identified and treated. As a result of her cancer experience, Mary actively advocated for increased awareness and early detection of Ovarian Cancer so there are more survivors in the future than is currently the case. Therefore, in lieu of cards/flowers, Mary and her family request donations be made in her memory to the Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer (www.rivkin.org) in Seattle to support their educational efforts to increase awareness, and their research efforts to improve early detection and find a cure.
