How do we #MoveTheMessage? Raising Awareness of Gyn Cancers 9/13/2023


We hope you can join us on Wednesday, September 13, 2023 at 8pm ET for our chat about raising awareness of gynecologic cancers titled How do we #MoveTheMessage ? We will be joined by Gail O'Hara, Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations for the Foundation for Women's Cancer to share information about the types of gyn cancers - ovarian, endometrial, vulvar, cervical and vaginal. We'll also have guests from Cervivor, ECANA, and Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

Are you doing anything special this month to raise awareness? Are there organizations you work with to help raise awareness and educate about cancers below the belt? If there are, we hope you will share their information with our community. Our discussion will be guided by these questions:
T1: What are some of the things you, or your organization, do to raise awareness of GYN cancers? Are there things you've tried in expanding your reach to underserved communities?

T2: What are some of the key points to share when raising awareness about #CervicalCancer? What do you wish others knew?

T3: What are some of the key points to share when raising awareness about #UterineCancer and #EndometrialCancer? What do you wish others knew?

T4: What are some of the key points to share when raising awareness about #OvarianCancer? What do you wish others knew?

T5: Vaginal, vulvar, and several other gyn cancer types are rare. With fewer advocates and organizations to speak about these cancers, how can we educate more people? What is most important to know?

There is another reason why we hope you will join us this month. GYNcancer community will be celebrating our tenth anniversary as a community and chat on X (/Twitter) .


We appreciate the support and guidance provided by so many in our community that made our community a success and helped us achieve our mission to provide a place where those with a gynecologic cancer-related diagnosis and their caregivers can find reliable information and support, and to provide a place where health care providers can gain insight into the patient experience, discovering what topics/issues are most important to gyn cancer patients. We'd love your feedback on the following questions:
 
#GYNCSM Community Question 1: Approximately how long have you followed the #gyncsm hashtag? What has the cancer community on this platform meant to you?

#GYNCSM Community Question 2: How are you feeling about the cancer community on this platform now? Do you have back-up plans if/when this platform is no longer a good fit for you?

 #GYNCSM Community Question 3: What chat topics have you found most helpful? What topics would you like #gyncsm to cover in future chats?


See you on Wednesday at 8pm.
