In the spring of 1999, Judy was having multiple health problems. Judy’s doctors suspected problems with her gall bladder or a kidney cyst, but according to Judy and her son, Tim, a lab technician, her symptoms “simply didn’t add up.” Tim gave his mother an ultrasound and immediately saw what he describes as a "massive tumor that I knew was not benign." Judy was diagnosed with stage I-C ovarian cancer, an early stage of the disease.

Judy has been in remission since 2000 and her strength and determination are as strong as always. She still has her CA 125 levels tested every month.

Judy has been helping with the fight against ovarian cancer by organizing the team “Dick’s Crew” every year since she completed treatment in 2001.
