Welcome to the Space Coast Ovarian /Gynecologic Cancer Alliance’s Website

We are located in Brevard County Florida and it is our mission to provide education and awareness of Ovarian and other Gynecologic Cancers and to serve as a resource to all gynecologic Cancer Survivors and their families.

We are committed to Education, Awareness, Advocacy, Support and Ovarian Cancer Research.

Ovarian Cancer is the deadliest of the Gynecologic Cancers, because there is NO DIAGNOSTIC TEST. Because of this, women are most often diagnosed when the disease has progressed to an advanced stage. Do you know the warning signs and the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer? Less than 18% of the women in America do. The Symptoms are as follows:

Bloating
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
Urinary symptoms (urgency of frequency)

Read more about symptoms and Ovarian Cancer on the website “About Ovarian Cancer”

What is a Survivor?

We often hear the term “Survivor” when it pertains to a serious illness, but we are not sure what that means. We become a Survivor the moment we are diagnosed and remain a Survivor for the rest of our lives.

A Survivor is defined as: “Somebody who remains alive despite being exposed to life-threatening danger. Somebody who shows a great will to live or a great determination to overcome difficulties and carry on.”

That says it all!
