Our Bag of Hope is a powerful tool in the fight against ovarian cancer. It is provided to newly diagnosed patients for comfort and support.
Have you, a friend or family member been recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer in South Carolina? Hopefully, you live in an area where we have a survivor volunteer available to deliver a Bag of Hope in person. If not, we can probably ship one to you. Please contact our office at 864-373-6306 or info@scovariancancer.org or fill out the form below to inquire about the options to receive a Bag of Hope for an ovarian cancer patient.
Here’s what you will find in a Bag of Hope:
- A heavy duty tote bag with a water-proof liner to carry to your chemotherapy sessions
- Insulated tumbler to keep lots of cool water close at hand – staying hydrated is important!
