Bringing meaningful change to the low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) community takes more than good intentions. It takes collaboration.

That's why we partnered with Verastem, STAAR, and more than 10 leading patient advocacy organizations to build something this community has never had before: the LGSOC Resource Guide.

One place, one resource, pulling together trusted education, practical tools, and community support for patients, caregivers, and everyone navigating the road of low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

For too long, finding reliable guidance has meant piecing things together from scattered sources. This guide was built — by organizations who know this community deeply — to change that.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, navigating treatment, facing recurrence, or supporting someone you love, there's something in here for exactly where you are right now.

39 riders. 294 donations. $28,819 raised.

Two days after World Ovarian Cancer Day, our founder Emily Campbell joined the NOCC Team Teal ride at Peloton Studios in NYC: a room full of survivors, caregivers, and supporters who showed up because they know exactly what's at stake.

The fight against ovarian cancer happens in places like this, too. Grateful to NOCC for having us, and to everyone who donated or cheered from the sidelines.

For years, women with low-grade serous ovarian cancer were treated with the same chemotherapy protocols designed for high-grade, a completely different disease with completely different biology. It often didn't work. Not because anyone was doing something wrong, but because the science wasn't matched to the cancer.

That's starting to change. Researchers have discovered that LGSOC shares biological pathways with breast cancer and melanoma, and that drugs already proven in those diseases can be repurposed to treat it. Faster timelines. Known side effects. Real results in clinical trials.

In this video, Dr. Brian Slomovitz, Director of Gynecologic Oncology and Co-Chair of the Cancer Research Committee at Mount Sinai Medical Center, explains how drug repurposing is opening new doors for women with low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

This is what progress looks like when research catches up to patients who've been waiting.

The internet is full of dramatic claims about cancer and diet. We're cutting through the noise.

No single food will cure ovarian cancer, but the research is clear that what you eat consistently, day to day, can meaningfully support your body during treatment, aid recovery, and may even influence survival outcomes. That's worth paying attention to.

Our guide breaks down what the evidence actually says: what to eat, what to limit, how to manage nausea and taste changes during chemo, and which popular "cancer diet" myths to stop believing.

"How can we change the system so this doesn't happen to someone else?"

That's the question Emily Campbell started asking from her hospital bed, eight days into testing that would confirm a stage III ovarian cancer diagnosis at just 33. After being dismissed by doctor after doctor, she stopped waiting for the system to work and decided to build something better.

That question became Not These Ovaries. Read Emily's full interview and the story behind the nonprofit she founded with her husband, a nonprofit where 100% of donations go directly to research and patient advocacy.

When you're in the middle of treatment, the hardest part isn't always the physical. It's the 2 a.m. worry spiral. The moment you realize your friends don't quite know what to say anymore. The strange grief of feeling alone in a room full of people who love you.

Ovarian cancer support groups exist for exactly that gap. They're where "scanxiety" is a word everyone already knows, where you don't have to translate your experience before sharing it, and where survivors years out from diagnosis sit alongside people who were just diagnosed last week.

They come in many forms: online communities, in-person meetings, one-on-one peer mentoring, groups specifically for caregivers and family members, even programs matched by diagnosis type, age, and language. Some are professionally facilitated. Others are peer-led. Most are free.

You shouldn't have to figure out where to turn on top of everything else you're already figuring out.

Clinical trials aren't a last resort. For many women with ovarian cancer, they're a doorway to treatments that don't yet exist anywhere else.

From antibody-drug conjugates to CAR T-cell therapies, researchers are pursuing breakthroughs that could become tomorrow's standard of care. And the women who participate in trials are the reason that progress happens at all.

We break down what clinical trials actually involve, what questions to ask, how to find one, and how to decide if it's right for you. Because you deserve the full picture.

Ovarian cancer is not one disease. It's many, each with its own biology, behavior, and treatment profile. And if you or someone you love has been diagnosed with a subtype that isn't the "typical" high-grade serous ovarian cancer, you may already know how isolating that can feel.

The information is harder to find. The specialists are fewer. The research is still catching up.
Our guide breaks down the rare ovarian cancer subtypes that don't get enough attention: from low-grade serous and borderline tumors to germ cell and s*x cord-stromal cancers. We explain what each diagnosis actually means for treatment, prognosis, and next steps.

Because every woman deserves answers that are specific to her diagnosis. Not just the general version.

Low-grade serous ovarian cancer ( ) patients wait an average of nearly three years for an accurate diagnosis. And once they finally have one, the information they need is scattered across a dozen different sources, when they can least afford to go looking for it.

That changes now.

The LGSOC Resource Guide is here. Built in partnership with STAAR Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer, Verastem Oncology and 10+ leading advocacy organizations, it brings together trusted education, practical tools, and community support — all in one place, organized around where you actually are in your journey.

Newly diagnosed. Deep in treatment. Facing recurrence. Supporting someone you love. There's a chapter for you.

Because patients deserve answers. Not a maze.

An ovarian cancer diagnosis changes everything: your body, your relationships, your sense of the future. But the mental and emotional weight of that journey is something most treatment plans still aren't designed to address.

Research shows that in the first two years after diagnosis, women with ovarian cancer are more than 3.5 times more likely to develop an anxiety disorder and nearly 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with depression. And a significant number never receive any mental health support at all.

We're breaking down why that gap exists, what the emotional reality of this journey actually looks like — including the particular isolation felt by LGSOC and borderline tumor patients — and concrete steps you can take to protect your mental health throughout treatment and beyond.

Because getting real support for anxiety and depression isn't a side issue. It belongs at the center of your care plan. Read the full article: https://www.nottheseovaries.org/ovarian-cancer-and-mental-health/
