Talk Peach Ovarian Cancer Day

Ovarian cancer has the lowest survival rates of all female cancers because there are often delays in diagnosis. Awareness of the symptoms is low and they are often confused with those of other, less severe, illnesses.

Talk Peach has released New Zealand's first comprehensive, evidence based Ovarian Cancer Support guide, this is now in print with DHB oncology wards nationwide and downloadable via our educational website.

Every 48 hours a woman dies of ovarian cancer in New Zealand. That's more women than our road toll.
