Virtual Support Series

OCRA’s gynecologic cancer support series are all held online, and led by oncology social workers on our Patient Support team. Discussions cover a wide range of topics, from managing a new diagnosis, to experiencing cancer as a young adult, managing recurrence, expressive arts, and more.

Peer Support & Mentoring

OCRA’s Woman to Woman program matches those managing the ups and downs of life with gynecologic cancer, with trained survivor volunteers who can lend a listening ear and relate to what you’re going through. Programs are available at select hospitals, and mentorship is available to anyone who needs it through our national team.
