Review for Cancer Schmancer Foundation, Malibu, CA, USA
I am the sister of a cancer survivor. When my sister was diagnosed, I learned that there were no early tests for Ovarian Cancer. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I questioned my doctors, I called the onocology department of my local hospital. Everywhere I was met with the same response - there are no early tests for Ovarian Cancer. Talking with my friends, many of them were surprised to hear the same information. Can you imagine how horrible it is to realize a whole community of people without information? We sit at the brink of an information revolution and there is no info out there unless you are like me and have to learn about cancer because someone you love is diagnosed. Cancer Schmancer is the only organization that I have been able to find that addresses the issue of early testing for all cancers. When early testing is figured out, everyone in our communities will benefit; women, men and children alike.
