In 2023, it is estimated that over 1,800 Australians were diagnosed with ovarian cancer. For these people, treatment can involve invasive surgery and chemotherapy, leaving them physically and emotionally vulnerable, even after they have finished treatment. St John of God Health Care is proud to be at the forefront of research that aims to better support patients, including following treatment for ovarian cancer through a new donor-funded clinical trial called ‘Getting the MOST (Measure of Ovarian Symptoms and Treatment concerns) out of Ovarian Cancer Follow-Up’. Led by Professor Paul Cohen, the trial has the potential to change the way in which ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer patients receive follow up care. On Tuesday, 23rd August 2022, the team at Perth Integrated Health are organising another amazing fundraising event for the Ladybird Foundation: Crazy Hair Day! Everyone is encouraged to hold a morning tea or lunch, with a donation to the Ladybird Foundation. Businesses getting on board can also encourage their staff to get creative with hair gel and colour, wear a wig or pop on a fancy hat! From all of us at the Ladybird Foundation, we’d like to say a big THANK YOU to all the 2022 Tour De Gracetown sponsors and their staff! Thank you for getting behind our cause and supporting Breast & Gynaecologic cancer research in WA. If you’d like to make a donation, please follow the link below by clicking the DONATE NOW button! |
