It is estimated that only 3 in 10 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will live beyond 10 years. This is a very sobering statistic given that it is also estimated that 90% of women are not familiar with the four main symptoms of ovarian cancer and that that an early diagnosis can make a significant difference to outcomes.

Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month is all about raising awareness to try and improve these outcomes.
