Making A Difference! Making A Difference!


Our Meetings are designed for everyone to get together and share ideas on how we can Make A Difference with ovarian cancer. Some meetings have speakers and presentations, others are just get-togethers, sometimes there are projects, and always there is a lot of laughter and fun! Everyone is welcome - survivors, caregivers, family, and friends. Meetings are typically held the first Saturday of each month, except around holidays. Below are details on upcoming meetings.

NOTES FROM PAST MEETINGS:

At meetings in 2006 and early 2007 Dr. Mark Messing did presentations at Meetings on topics requested by the volunteers. Dr. Messing, for those that don't know him, is a gynecological oncologist who serves on the DFW NOCC Advisory Board and has provided countless hours of volunteer work with our group. He has made numerous presentations to our group and we are very grateful for his efforts. He kindly allowed us to provide a summary of two of his recent presentations which can be downloaded by clicking below:
