Lee Scott Academy graduate Maddie McClendon was diagnosed with small-cell carcinoma of the ovary hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), a rare form of ovarian cancer, in October during her freshman year at Auburn University. After several months at a specialist hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, McClendon flew back to her hometown last week for home hospice care in the company of family and friends.
