Helping Ovarian Cancer Patients Break Free!

Being diagnosed with cancer will never be an easy journey. But a lot has changed in the landscape of cancer care. Today, a woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer will have more hope for her recovery, with access to better treatment and care. With the focus now trained on survivorship, conversations are also turning to how we can support cancer patients in returning to normal lives, resuming work, and enjoying purposeful, daily activities. Enter: exercise and physical activity. We hear more about a specific programme tailored for ovarian cancer survivors, from Imelda Yong, Programme Director & Co-founder of Breakfree Movement, while Iren Lau, Group Lead of Ovarian Cancer Malaysia, and Prof Dr Woo Yin Ling, Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist, share personal and professional perspectives of living well with ovarian cancer.
