More than 21,410 women in the United States will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year.1 Yet, it can be challenging to find other people in your community who understand your experiences. Our goal here at AdvancedOvarianCancer.net is to connect ovarian cancer patients and caregivers with one another and build an online community that helps bridge the gap.
