I stumbled across this interesting and informative website during a recent on-line search. Published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/Genetics Home Reference section, the article gives a basic overview of the origins, frequency, causes, inheritance patterns, diagnosis and treatment options etc. of ovarian cancer.
What makes this website unique are the sidebars associated with each section providing informational links. For example, one link connects to a new page explaining why some genetic conditions are found more often in particular ethnic groups. There were also over 20 additional links to further resources.
To find out more about this website, follow this link.
In October 2012, a dream was realized for two dynamic ovarian cancer survivors: Anne Tonachel and Robin Bray. Their dream was to provide a restorative retreat for other ovarian cancer survivors in the northeast. When the amazing Kennedy family of Camp Kieve and The Kennedy Learning Center provided the retreat space (in honor of a family member with ovarian cancer), this restorative retreat was born.
