With National Volunteer Week around the corner on 20-26 May, we’re recognising Margaret’s seven years of dedicated support for people affected by cancer, as a Cancer Council Information Services (CCIS) volunteer at Nepean Cancer Centre. 

This Ovarian Cancer Day on Monday 8 May Heather’s advice is clear, “I urge others to not be embarrassed about talking to your doctor, about changes you notice and other signs and symptoms.”  

‘All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.’

We want the next NSW Government to ensure people are supported to live well after a cancer diagnosis.
