“...the average woman goes nine years undiagnosed with PCOS. That's how long it takes from onset of symptoms to diagnosis.” -Priscilla Elzen
“Just getting knowledge and voices from other women and collectively raising, I think even within my own family, it's an honor to know that my sisters are going to fight a little harder because their sister's been diagnosed. And I would hope they would.”
