Welcome to
GO Girls

GO Girls is the only UK charity supporting women, men, trans people and non binary people diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer. We respect everyone as an individual.

We raise awareness of all gynaecological cancers and campaign for earlier diagnostics and improved treatments.

We are supported by our patron, Helen Lederer.

We'd love your support too.

It's donations from people like you which help us deliver our incredible support and awareness campaigns - thank you.

JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT

OVARIAN CANCER

Over 7000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK each year. Survival is still poor.

Most women don't get the information or support they need when faced with an #OvarianCancer diagnosis. Join me in raising awareness about the importance of accessible mental and physical support for all those with the disease. #WOCD2022 #NoWomanLeftBehind

A

ABDOMINAL PAIN

Abdominal pain is often a key symptom of ovarian cancer : this is likely to be pain lasting more than 2 weeks

B

BLOATING

Bloating is a key symptom. Have you noticed your clothes getting tighter (not associated with weight gain). You may also have disturbed bowels and bladder and low back pain

C

CAN'T EAT MUCH

Ovarian cancer will often give you a feeling you cannot each much or are feeling full

Supporting Women with
Gynaecological Cancers

GO Girls want to ensure all women with gynaecological cancers receive the support they truly deserve on what is often a lonely and difficult journey. Survival rates are still very low, particularly for those with ovarian cancers where survival has not improved in 21 years.

In the last 5 years our membership has grown via our online support group, and we continue to grow. More women recognise support is essential to coping with a gynaecological cancer.

We are run by a small and dedicated team of Trustees with no paid staff. This means that most of what we raise, and you raise, goes to support our work - we couldn't do it without you - so thank you.

Thank You
