It was great to join other MPs and world expert Associate Professor Simon Chu at an ovarian cancer awareness event at Parliament House.

It’s very important to be aware of the symptoms, including the rare Granulosa Cell Tumour, and to be aware of the need for more life-saving research. It was also a moving experience to hear the stories of those affected and to raise our arms in the “Angel Wings of Awareness” for this critical issue.

Knowledge and appropriate funding are critical tools in treating cancers and I thank the Rare Ovarian Cancer Group for bringing this important issue to our attention.
