Pink meets Teal : Ovarian Cancer,let's show our support
I was diagnosed with breast cancer almost a year to the day after a friend was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and whilst our stories are very similar, unfortunately the funding disparity between breast cancer and ovarian cancer research is huge. So let's get behind our sisters and help raise awareness of ovarian cancer on May 8th https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/post/w.smh.com.au/national/nsw/pink-meets-teal-time-to-raise-awareness-of-ovarian-cancer-20190503-p51jmt.html?fbclid=IwAR1nSeh5Q_xe4ozxqh6YSY8X0Lx-IA8Ddhe0-iqKjHj5pOPsvSzDyGOght8 The Pink Meets Teal campaign – pink is the colour associated with breast cancer while teal symbolises ovarian – is calling on all women, especially breast cancer survivors, to lend a hand to those with ovarian cancer. ABC broadcaster Jill Emberson shares her story as an advocate for more funding for ovarian cancer in the above link. (which doesn't seem to working yet, may need BCNA admin permission?)
Brca 1 positive
Hi all, I'm new to this site and this is my first post. I don't have breast cancer, however, I am brca1 positive. I am the only girl in four generations of my family to not have had breast or ovarian cancer. I had a complete hysterectomy last year as a preventative and am now planning a double mastectomy. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about recovery etc. I am a single woman, aged 54 fit and in good health. I also have a son 14 still at home who has Autism. I am trying to plan my convalescing which includes having my son minded. I would dearly love some advice as it's all a bit scary.
