Dear SHARE Family,
I could not be more pleased to let you know that Andrea Herzberg, who has been tirelessly overseeing SHARE's ovarian cancer Helpline for nine years and facilitating two long-standing ovarian cancer support groups each month, has been honored with CURE®’s Ovarian Cancer Heroes Award.
We asked our volunteers how they are coping with the social isolation required of us during the coronavirus pandemic. We hope you find these quotes uplifting and inspiring.
Here are a few resources could be especially helpful for those affected by cancer in these uncertain times.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to develop, SHARE is committed to delivering the most up-to-date information to women affected by breast, metastatic breast, ovarian or uterine cancer. We are so grateful to our esteemed medical leaders for providing us with their insight and answers in the following videos.
Our lives have changed so much in the weeks since the coronavirus pandemic emerged. But some things remain the same. SHARE is here for you, no matter your situation.
As cases of the novel coronavirus are reported in the U.S., we want to share some information and resources for cancer patients and update you on what SHARE is doing to prepare.

The phrase “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes” has new meaning to me as a breast cancer survivor. I now understand it’s impossible to know what someone is feeling unless you’ve actually been there yourself. When I was first diagnosed, I didn’t think that talking to others would help, but I was wrong.
This month gynecologic oncologists from across the country got together to share their research at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology Conference (SGO). We were inspired to see so many leading experts working hard to find better treatments for ovarian cancer. We’ve linked to several articles published in the oncology media about the conference so you can learn more.
Did you know that SHARE has an ovarian cancer support group in Lehigh Valley, PA? Donna Barats, a survivor of Stage 3 ovarian cancer, has been running the support group with gusto for over a year.
Welcome to our new, monthly resource roundup! Each month, we’ll be curating study opportunities, new clinical trials, research results, news articles, personal perspectives, and upcoming events of interest to women and families affected by breast, ovarian, or metastatic breast cancer.
