Tell us YOUR story!!!
O.A.K. is requesting that you send us your survivorship story. We want to put your stories up on our website to share with women around the state of Kentucky and in southern Indiana to offer them hope and support.

By submitting your e-mailed or hand written story to O.A.K., you are permitting us to place it on our website. We will take stories anytime.

Send your story to: INFO@OVARIANAWARENESSOFKY.ORG or mail to:
Ovarian Awareness of Kentucky (O.A.K.)
4010 Dupont Circle, Suite 275
Dupont Professional Towers, 2nd floor
Louisville, KY 40207

Submit with your story: First name, last name (optional), city, state, age at diagnosis and the year, type of GYN cancer, and stage.

We have OAK members who are willing to talk and share their stories and experiences with other survivors. If you call our office at 502-708-1625 we can introduce you to another survivor of a similar age and/or stage. We also provide assistance to family members – husbands/partners who would like to talk to others in the same situation and daughters or sisters who are providing care for a loved one and would like support.

Some women like to attend the OAK meetings to socialize with other survivors and learn about treatment options available. Others would prefer to meet another survivor for coffee. We want to meet the needs of our members – please let us know what OAK can do for you and how you want to connect with us. Providing support to women with ovarian cancer and their families is an important part of our mission and we need your help to successfully achieve this. Please feel free to call our office at 502-708-1625 or email us at INFO@OVARIANAWARENESSOFKY.ORG
