January 2026
Greetings,
If you are or have been affected by ovarian or gynecologic cancer in #centralkentucky or #lexington, we are your people. We welcome all.
We have monthly meetups where we arrange guest speakers every other month on related topics and meet up in person at a restaurant in Lexington. We talk about our treatments, share info from the national organizations #ocra and #nocc as well as organize volunteers to do tabling events to spread awareness of #ovariancancer and #gynecologiccancer symptoms and steps/methods of diagnosis. There is no test for OC.
We've got a great presentation with an overview of OC and GYN cancer, walking you through the steps of how these cancers are approached. We also link to other reputable resources for more information.
Our annual celebration luncheon is 28 September. We've been so busy the last couple of months putting everything together. As a small board of volunteers, we each have our strengths and take care of all the bits and pieces. We have 20 survivors registered along with 25 friends, family and healthcare providers. Door prizes, goody bags AND a professional photographer! We'll have an excellent group photo this year!
I've been on the BOCS board since 2021. I came in as vice president. I am happy to announce that Camellia Hutchinson has accepted the vice president role for this year, and will become president in January 2027.
Contact Rose Lewis or email us. Thank you.
Enid Wohlstein, President of BOCS
My name is Camellia Hutchinson, and I am honored to step into the role of Vice
President of Bluegrass Ovarian Cancer Support.
I am a wife to my husband Jeremy, and a proud mom to our son Owen, who is my
greatest motivation and inspiration.
I am a nurse practitioner and am grateful to have the opportunity to serve our veterans
at our local VA hospital, where I work in the neurology department. Caring for others
has always been at the heart of who I am, both professionally and personally.
In July 2023 ,I was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer. Becoming a survivor has
profoundly shaped my perspective and strengthened my passion for advocacy,
connection and support within the ovarian cancer community.
I look forward to serving our BOCS in this new role and am excited for the year ahead
as we continue to support, uplift , empower and support one another.
