七次奖章获得者是在2010年末常规妇科检查后在左侧卵巢检测到一个棒球大小的囊肿时被诊断出来的。尽管她经历了严重的胃痛,体重减轻,腹胀,但Miller将这一切都归结为月经期间的常规问题。从出生到罗科的身体变化.

“我很幸运,我的医生很早就抓住了它。但我不希望其他女性依靠运气。学习这些症状很重要,”米勒说,她接受了手术和化疗作为治疗的一部分,后来写了关于她的信息。她在2015年的一本书中写道:“这不是完美的:为我的国家而战,为我的生命而战”。

    Olympic gymnast Shannon Miller defeated ovarian cancer five years ago, but that doesnt mean shes not grateful for every moment of her healthy body. “I thank God every day that Im here,” the 39-year-old Miller told People, now sharing her story as an athlete so that other women can understand the symptoms of this disease. Miller is the most decorated gymnast in American history, leading the famous “Magnificent Seven,” the US Olympic womens gymnastics team that won gold in 1996. These days, the busy mother of two runs her own company, Shannon Miller Lifestyle Health and Fitness for Women, with her husband, businessman John Falconetti. But five years ago, cancer left her so weak that Millers goal for the day was sometimes just to walk around the table, Miller told the magazine.

About 14,240 women will die from the disease. The athlete encourages women to visit KnowPelvicMass.com to learn about ovarian cancer and a blood test called OVA1 that helps doctors determine whether a lump may be cancerous. (Miller is a spokesperson for the company that developed the test and was unable to use it during her treatment.) Although cancer once inflicted cruel damage on her body, Miller has won again in both body and spirit. This summer she will return to the
