The Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation, was created as a tribute to the life, character, and immense strength of Sandy Rollman. Sandy passed away from advanced ovarian cancer in May 2000. Tragically Sandy never had a chance against ovarian cancer. Her sister Adriana Way and her nurse Robin Cohen decided to keep Sandy’s memory alive while trying to prevent other women from having to endure the same pain as she did. It is in Sandy’s memory and the memory of all women who have succumbed to this insidious disease, that the foundation continues its efforts to help conquer ovarian cancer.
It is expected that over 26, 000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year and over 16, 000 women will die from the disease this year.
Ovarian Cancer is not an uncommon disease occurring in 1 of every 57 women.
When ovarian cancer is detected early, before it has spread beyond the ovaries, more than 90% of women will survive longer than five years. Only 25% of women are diagnosed in the early stages.
Currently, 50% of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer die from the disease within five years.
When diagnosed in advanced stages, the chance of five- year survival is only 20%.
Ovarian cancer is often difficult to diagnose because symptoms may be subtle, are easily confused with other diseases and because there is no single reliable easy-to-administer screening tool
