Bringing Strength to a Sensitive Situation.

For certain women with ovarian cancer, the treatment can be just as difficult to tolerate as the disease. Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to the prescribed medications or chemotherapy can stand in the way of proper treatment. Ovations for the Cure actively supports the Desensitization Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Through this extremely innovative program, women with ovarian cancer are able to overcome sensitivity to therapy and receive the treatment so vital to survival. After all, just because women are sensitive, it doesn’t mean they can’t be strong.
