Help us share the N.E.D. message of hope and advocacy.
The Issue:
Gynecologic cancers are often described as silent killers. Few women know the signs and symptoms, and fewer are comfortable talking about them. Subtle symptoms and limited diagnostic testing means that women’s cancers are often diagnosed in the late stages of the disease. Of the 91,000 women in the U.S. diagnosed with a below-the-belt cancer this year, nearly a third will die. Despite the staggering statistics, funding and awareness continues to be woefully low, and every day women around the world are surprised by these life-altering diagnoses.
Movie Description:
Six GYN cancer surgeons take on the Big C with Rock ‘n’ Roll in NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE, an intimate, humorous, and inspiring new documentary from award-winning Spark Media. The film interweaves the harrowing experiences and remarkable courage of women, devoted families, and dedicated doctors. As music and medicine join forces in the fight for life, surgeons transform into rising rock stars, and their patients and loved ones jump on the bandwagon, infusing the struggle for survival with heart, hope and Rock ‘n’ Roll.
