Overlooked: Women's Health Can't Wait

As a woman.. this is everything. I especially relate to the cervical screening episode, and it helps tremendously knowing there’s a community of women navigating the same path.

I listened to every available episode of this podcast in one sitting. I’m educated on ovarian cancer. My mother battled it for six years and eventually passed when I was in my early 20s. Before she died, she discovered the BRCA2 mutation that I’ve also found I carry. But even so, I learned so much about the disease and treatment while listening. The science and the story are presented so clearly. I also felt connected to the lives of the host and her mother. At the time, I was young and took the approach to look away instead of witnessing my mother’s journey. This podcast helped piece back and rebuild some of those memories that I’ve been too afraid to look at.

I truly love this podcast . It teaches me what I too went throw when I had my first infusion of Taxol chemo treatments during Covid -19 lock down . Am looking forward to listening more of our ovarian cancer journey and learn a lot from other cancer patients thank you OCRA for introducing this podcast to us . Danette

This show is a deeply intimate portrait of a mother-daughter relationship through an unexpected struggle with cancer. I loved Theresa’s audio diaries. And Golda’s excellent reporting and quest to understand her mom’s illness helped me learn so much about ovarian cancer - something more women need to know about. Beautiful, subtle sound design and excellent production. A must listen.
