Ovarian Cancer Symptom Awareness Organization fills a slot that is much-needed: making people aware of the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer, the Silent Killer. I lost a friend to this ugly disease last year. I am now a member of OCSA's Advisory Board and whatever I can do is in her memory. For such a young organization they are doing a stellar job. I hope everyone will help them and will go to their website to learn of their work and the silent symptoms of this killer disease.
I have been with Ovarian Cancer Symptom Awareness since the planning stages. We are very young, but we are growing. The purpose of this non-profit is to educate women on the symptoms of ovarian cancer, so it can be diagnosed in its early stages. Early detection is key.
OCSA is a relatively young charity, but in my opinion, is one that really seeks to make a difference, a real difference, by providing necessary information to women regarding the symptoms of ovarian cancer. I am the only survivor of my nuclear family; both parents and my brother died of cancer, unsuccessfully treated. Ovarian cancer, if caught in the early stages, is treatable, and OCSA seeks to disseminate information in order to promote earlier diagnosis.
Funding for research is equally important, but the efforts expended by OCSA members to educate women about the very subtle symptoms of ovarian cancer are phenomenal.
