2020 was a stressful year, especially for women battling mucinous ovarian cancer. The difficulties associated with the disease were made worse by safety concerns and need to stay at home. To start 2021 on a more positive note, the Mucinous Ovarian Cancer Coalition is pleased to launch a new series called, Breathe. The program’s goal is to offer virtual classes and workshops throughout 2021 that help women with MOC and their family caregivers find balance and peace. Each is offered at no cost.
