Resource Guide

OGCC/Rhonda’s Club has compiled a resource guide for newly diagnosed ovarian and endometrial cancer patients with practical information on what to expect during treatment, frequently asked questions, a glossary of medical terms and other useful facts. This guide is included in our patient care bags distributed free of charge to patients.

Rhonda’s Story

When she learned in 1994 that she had ovarian cancer, Ms. Rhonda Oziel was confronted with a lack of readily available information on the disease and its treatment.

She became a founder of the Ovarian & Gynecologic Cancer Coalition of Greater Washington, which was later renamed OGCC/Rhonda’s Club in her honor.

Upcoming Events

OCRFA (Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance), of which Rhonda's Club is a local community member, will hold its 2018 Ovarian Cancer National Conference on July 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill Hotel in Washington, DC. You'll be treated to a weekend of hope, inspiration, new found knowledge and sisterhood! Hear from top medical professionals and meet hundreds of others whose lives have been touched by ovarian cancer. Registration is open at https://ocrfa.org/events/conference/registration/. Those needing financial assistance should apply for the Conference's scholarship program at https://ocrfa.org/events/conference/scholarship-program/.
