Our mission is to educate our community to raise awareness about all gynaecological cancers and support those affected.  In New Zealand, one woman dies every day from a gynaecological cancer. Early detection saves lives. The smear test detects abnormalities that may lead to cervical cancer. It cannot detect ovarian, uterine, vulval/vaginal cancers. Its vital you know the symptoms for early detection. It may save your life. 

A BUNCH TO GIVE AWAY EVERY WEEK!

Woman of the Month: March 2010

Dianne Davy

Hi there. I am now into my third year of Stage 3 ovarian/ peritoneal cancer.

Looking back from the time of diagnosis and through to today, I have to say that I have had quite a journey. A journey from diagnosis and facts to faith and hope, depression and drugs to freedom from both before the next shots....Wellness for a few months to "oh God, what next?" you name it, I have done it on all the different chemotherapy treatments and still going.
