Did you know?

For more information about Ovarian Cancer please visit Ovarian Cancer Canada.


  • Ovarian Cancer is the most serious cancer affecting women in Canada, the 5 year survival rate is 40%.
  • It is often discovered in late, incurable stages because there is no effective detection method.
  • The Ca 125 blood test and ultrasounds do not test for Ovarian Cancer.
  • Onset of the disease is typically after the age of 60 and symptoms resemble menopause. (bloating, changes in urinary habits, and abdominal discomfort).
  • The most threatening symptom of all is the potential of no symptoms.
  • With no symptoms, and no screening test, Ovarian Cancer is extremely hard to detect in early stages.


Belles with Balls NL hopes that by increasing education and awareness, as well as contributing to research in Ovarian Cancer genetics, women will get an earlier diagnosis and a better prognosis. We need your help.
