Don't Write the Obituary Yet!

Mark Baldwin introduced speaker Susan Evans. Susan is a retired English teacher, ovarian cancer survivor (now in remission), and author of the book "Don't Write the Obituary Yet!", which highlights Susan's journey with her husband in battling cancer. Susan is also a member and Past-President of the Bradford, PA Rotary Club. She came to tell her story, which she managed to summarize in the time she was allotted. 

 

Sales of Susan's book have raised over $90,000, and are being donated to The Pittsburgh Foundation as part of the Evans-Krivak Gynecological Cancer Research Fund. "Krivak" is Dr. Thomas Krivak, a gynecologic oncologist who was on call when Susan first came to Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC in Oakland, PA. Since their first encounter, Dr. Krivak has moved to Allegheny Health Network. When he moved to the network, he lost his cancer research funding, which is why proceeds from book sales are going into Evans-Krivak Gynecological Cancer Research Fund.
