OVARIAN CANCER
Information Package on Ovarian Cancer
An information package for Canadian women with ovarian cancer is now available through the Ovarian Cancer Canada (OCC). The package consists of a handbook entitled You are Not Alone - A Guide for Canadian Women Living with Ovarian Cancer and a videotape entitled WE JUST HEARD that chronicles the personal experiences of seven women who have "been there." The handbook was created with input from women, family members and health professionals from across Canada.
OCC's goal is to provide this resource package to every woman in Canada who is diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The package is available, free of charge, by phone: 1-877-413-7970 (toll-free number in CANADA) or by e-mail: cdunbar@ovariancanada.org
For additional information about OCC or ovarian cancer, please visit the OCC website: www.ovariancanada.org
