Feb 5th Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

The Beginning of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

This week marks the beginning of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and 2021 is the year of hope according to Ovarian Cancer Australia. Researchers say they’ve never been closer to a cure due to recent advances in the understanding of the disease.

Ovarian cancer is currently the deadliest yet most underfunded cancer in Australia:

  • 1 Aussie woman dies every 8 hours from the disease – that’s three each day.
  • 1500 women are diagnosed every year.
  • For 70% of those who do achieve remission, cancer will come back.

Ovarian Cancer Australia (OCA) want to increase Australia’s understanding of the disease and appeal for donations that can help ensure no woman with ovarian cancer walks alone. On this year’s Teal Ribbon Giving Day (24 February), for every dollar donated, OCA will triple it.
