Linda’s Story: Ovarian Cancer – 30 second version

Audio Descriptive Text

Linda, ovarian cancer survivor, stands with her hands over her abdomen, as a small orb, filled with multicolored shapes and a single dark clump, appears from her lower abdomen. Scene darkens and a spotlight shines on Linda from above.

Scene shifts to a close-up of the orb. Linda’s hands move over the orb, and the dark clump shifts around.

A light hue fills the screen and fades away, revealing a close-up of Linda, holding a glowing orb in her hands. Organic shapes swirl around her and fill the screen.

The shapes flow off screen as Linda appears, standing sideways. She reaches out her hand, and as her palm opens, a mirror appears with her reflection. Linda and her reflection embrace each other.

The last screen shows the logos for the Inside Knowledge campaign, CDC and HHS, and directs viewers to visit http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/gynecologic.

Screen reads: Ovarian cancer can cause many different symptoms. Get the facts.
