When Kelly Klein, a kindergarten teacher in Minnesota, first battled stage 3 ovarian cancer five years ago, she had to take off about six months due to her aggressive treatments.
Over the summer, when Klein, 54, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer again, she decided she would do whatever it takes to continue to be able to teach, a career she calls her passion.

(KARE) - A Minnesota woman undergoing chemotherapy treatments is continuing to do her job from the hospital.
Kelly Klein is a 32-year-old kindergarten teacher at Falcon Heights Elementary School, a role she says fuels her to keep going.
She’s receiving treatment for ovarian cancer at Lakes Medical Center in Wyoming, Minnesota.
Klein first battled the cancer five years ago. She found out it returned on the fifth anniversary of her last chemo treatment.
“I just had a really bad feeling that something might be up,” she said. “Now that it’s returned, it’s not curable. It’s terminal.”
