13 SO US PATIENTS, WHAT DO WE WANT TO TELL OUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS? Many of us did not know about HPV vaccinations, PAP Smear Test, nor BRCA Tests for Ovarian Carcinoma - WE WANT TO KNOW, WE NEED TO BE EDUCATED Even if we knew, many of us did not attend as we had no access to them, or no finances to get them done, or we did not find them relevant to us. AGAIN, WE NEED TO BE EDUCATED, and WE NEED ACCESS TO THEM. We need to find a way on how we can improve the prevention in these countries, together. Don t forget, numbers and studies are meaningless unless we do something with them 12

14 DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT STAGE: First conversations, First shocking moments, First informative conversations with doctors A NEW LIFE FOR PATIENTS BEGINS 13

15 How would you describe your first conversation with your doctor/ nurse/ health care team?

18 SO US PATIENTS, WHAT DO WE WANT TO TELL OUR DOCTORS WHO DIAGNOSE US FOR TREATMENT? Many of us did not get printed informative material from you during first visits and we were too shocked to understand what you were telling us WE WANT PRINTED MATERIALS TO TAKE HOME, SO WHEN WE GET OVER THE SHOCK WE CAN EDUCATE ORSELVES AND OUR CAREGIVERS AT HOME HOW: We need to find a way to work together to achieve this. Patient organizations should be working with doctors to provide the informative brochures, and we will need sponsors to do so. AGAIN Don t forget, numbers and studies are meaningless unless we do something with them 17

19 Waiting Time - How long did you have to wait before treatment started? 18

20 NOW, THE TREATMENT STARTS PATIENTS MOSTLY DON T KNOW: WHAT TO EXPECT WHAT TO EAT HOW TO COPE AND HOW TO LIVE WITH IT 19
