Video: Ovarian Cancer: What to Expect
The aim of these fact sheets and the video is to give patients and their families factual information about ovarian cancer, its diagnosis and treatment. Additional titles will continue to appear on a regular basis. Factsheets are free for women with ovarian cancer and their families and friends, as is the video. We do ask, however, that the video be returned to OVACOME after one month so that others may benefit from it. Should you wish to keep the video, you can do so at a cost of £5.00, made payable by cheque to OVACOME. This will enable us to cover the cost of producing additional copies for future requests.
Healthcare professionals ordering Factsheets (pads of 50 sheets) and/or the video are charged according to the prices listed opposite.
