Survivors' Brunch a Success in Wisconsin

May 2, 2010 was a morning of sharing courageous stories, valuable information and delicious food at the Wisconsin Ovarian Cancer Alliance's 4th Annual Survivors' Brunch at Westmoor Country Club in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

Fifty-four survivors came together to meet other women embarking on the same journey, along with 89 guests and five amazing doctors. Dr. William Bradley, a gynecological oncologist from Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin, talked about ovarian cancer, the statistics and other topics. There was also a panel of five doctors, Dr. William Bradley gynecological oncologist, Dr. Peter Johnson gynecological oncologist, Dr. Joseph Connor gynecological oncologist, Dr. Scott Kamelle gynecological oncologist and Dr. Michael Mullane oncologist who answered questioned from survivors and guests.

A drawing was held to select three survivors to attend the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance conference in Washington D.C. Each winner is given a $1,000 scholarship to help cover conference expenses and give them an opportunity to talk with their representative about securing more funds for ovarian cancer research.
