Each year in Australia around 1,815 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
In most cases the cancer will be diagnosed at an advanced stage, where it is very difficult to treat.
February marks Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, aimed at:
– Educating people on symptoms and the importance of getting checked.
– Advocating on behalf of those impacted by ovarian cancer for more research funding, better laws and policies, greater access to affordable treatment options and ultimately better outcomes for all those affected.
– Elevating the voices of women impacted by this disease by sharing their stories, their real-life experiences and getting these stories in front of as many eyes and ears as possible.
– Raising funds to ultimately change the future.
