Gynecologic cancers most familiar to us are ovarian, cervical, endometrial, uterine, vaginal, vulvar, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube, but there are others.
The Coalition’s programming is aimed to be educational, empowering and create connections among individuals affected by a gynecologic diagnosis.
What to Do Now … Breathe
That’s the first step. And we’re here to help you with the next. You are not alone. The Breast Cancer Coalition’s community includes individuals with a diagnosis of breast and/or gynecologic cancer, supporters, a caring staff, and community partners.
Having walked alongside hundreds of people navigating a gynecologic cancer diagnosis, we know how much community matters. Drawing from our deep experience and knowledge, we created this space just for you: a place to find genuine support, learn about the issues affecting the breast and gynecologic cancer community, and connect through programming and advocacy.
With advance notice, we can provide language interpreters, including American Sign Language, at no cost. We also have a Spanish-speaking staff member on our team to assist you. To get started, email us or call our office directly at (585) 473-8177 and speak with someone. We are here to help you, and together, we’ll take the next step.
