  IN HONOR OF JILL TANNER FOR NATIONAL OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 28, 2018

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent Jill 
Tanner, an ovarian cancer survivor from Owensboro, Kentucky. September 
is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer accounts for 
2.5 percent of cancers in women, and sadly, the American Cancer Society 
estimates that this year, about 22,240 new cases will be diagnosed in 
the United States. Jill has taken her experience fighting ovarian 
cancer and has become a fierce advocate for funding and research to 
fight this disease. I have met with Jill on a number of occasions to 
discuss what more Congress can do to help those with ovarian cancer, 
and I want to thank her for her advocacy.
