Just because you have any of these risk factors, it doesn't mean you will end up with ovarian cancer.
It just means that you have a higher chance than those with no risk factors.

The good news is, the more you know about these risk factors and what to look out for, the better your chance at early detection. Ultimately it will lead to a better treatment outcome if it does happen.

Always stay alert, and informed about any changes in your body.❤️

After Nina's mum Koula was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she knew that taking up the offer of genetic testing would be the best thing for her future. ⠀

Testing positive for the BRCA2 gene helped push Nina to get the prophylactic mastectomy, reconstruction, and removal of fallopian tubes to reduce the chance of a cancer diagnosis being in her future. ⠀

The treatment of ovarian cancer will be based on the type and stage that you have, and will usually involve a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. ⠀

Through a series of body scans, Lu found within 6 months of her initial breast cancer diagnosis the disease had spread to her bones.

'Whilst we cannot change the reality that terminal cancer presents, it would be wonderful to inform more people about it, so that we can engage in positive, relevant discussion and in doing so, educate the wider community.'

With the end of the financial year rapidly approaching, at Pink Hope we are making an appeal for donations to help us continue to ensure every individual can assess, manage and reduce their risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

What will your donation provide?

$10 will provide downloadable resources to support families understand their cancer risk and diagnosis

$50 will pay for a phone call with a women who is struggling with her cancer diagnosis or genetic mutation discovery

$250 will pay for a She Shares support group event so women can talk to other women who understand what they are going through

Donations can be made via our website ✨
