On The Down Low
‘On The Down Low – speaking up about ovarian cancer’ is a podcast featuring raw and inspiring stories from women with ovarian cancer and their caregivers, who speak in intimate detail about the challenges of living with cancer, and make a powerful call for advocacy, awareness and change. Hosted by Alison Dance, the six-part series follows the arc of an ovarian cancer journey covering topics including symptoms and diagnosis, treatment and side effects, challenges with finances, relationships and intimacy, issues specific to regional and younger women, research, clinical trials, recurrence, hope and advocacy. This podcast comes with a content warning for anyone affected by cancer. We cover heavy topics and themes, so if anything of concern comes up for you please call the recommended support line below. We also deal with a lot of medical talk – this isn’t health advice. If anything stands out to you check in with a trusted health professional.
