Did you know..
Ovarian cancer affects 1 in 78 women and about 1 in 108 women die of ovarian cancer. It doesn't have to be that way, though! If you've followed my journey, you know I'm a previvor and I chose to take preventive measures to reduce my risk of developing cancer. I had my tubes removed and per my providers' recommendations, we felt that step would significantly reduce my risk of developing ovarian cancer early (until I later remove my ovaries) because ovarian cancer often starts in the tubes.
The Hope Light Foundation has started the Talking Ovarian Cancer Project to bring awareness to ovarian cancer and the best ways to prevent it and detect it early.
