September Gynaecological Cancer Month- Ovarian, Cervical, Vaginal, Vulval, Endometrial/Uterine.

Auckland

Talk Peach is a registered charity founded by ovarian cancer survivors.

It’s clear from our perspective that gynaecological cancers are not talked about enough or a well profiled cause.

There are five gynaecological cancers: uterine, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal, together they kill 1 New Zealander every 24 hours, that's higher than our road toll.

The survival rate for ovarian cancer sits at 36%, breast cancer used to have a similar outlook, but now thanks to incredible advocacy, large-scale fundraising, an immense amount of research, public support and awareness, the 10-year breast cancer survival rate currently sits at 92% when detected via a mammogram.

Talk Peach acknowledges and applauds the tremendous outcomes in the fight against breast cancer and believe that with similar commitment and resources, we can achieve the same success for gynaecological cancers.

"In 10 years, I don't want to see that nothing has changed; I can't bear to see more and more New Zealanders dying of something they had never heard of, never knew the signs of, or that remain so underfunded in all aspects of the disease. It breaks my heart feeling like I got the cancer that no one can talk about" -Tash Crosby, Ovarian cancer survivor and Talk Peach Founder.

We must start having life-saving conversations about gynaecological health.

We need gynaecological cancer month to be as bold as other cancer awareness months.

Support us to educate, raise awareness, support those diagnosed and save lives.
