I am an ovarian cancer survivor (yay!)and funding for much needed research is in jeopardy. Help me!

[Glimmer of Hope]

There currently isn't an early detection test for ovarian cancer and symptoms are usually not noticeable until the cancer is late stage. The recurrence rate is almost 70%. Funding is not on par with other forms of cancer so it really pisses me off that it is in jeopardy.

Congress is considering language inserted into the National Defense Authorization Act of 2017 that threatens the future of the Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) which funds innovative, high-risk, high-reward ovarian cancer research. Despite its successes, two sections of the NDAA – Section 756 and Section 898 could, if enacted, jeopardize the $20 million set to be spent on OCRP research.

Please email you Congress critters!! Easy link:
