A group of ovarian cancer survivors call themselves the Fun Posse.

“It’s kind of an exclusive club. But it’s not a club you join on purpose,” shared Lorrie Fox.

Nancy Schwerdt and her friend Jo Devich helped get this all started. “We try to work around people’s schedules,” Schwerdt told us.

They meet at the London Road Perkins quite often, but have ventured out and tried new things as well.

“It’s always nice to be around people, who you don’t have to say anything, and they already know. Whatever it is, they already know,” added Chris Cigalio.

Having a support system like the Fun Posse is so important, when you’re dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

They welcome in newcomers like Terry Wasnick. “The amount of support that I found through the group is great. One lady is offering to help me with some paperwork, because I’m looking to go alternative.”

“I’m so amazed at the different journeys that people have had. Like same disease, but oh my gosh, so very different. The courage I see every time we meet, makes me feel good,” Schwerdt said.

The Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance, MOCA for short, is proud to help direct people to these groups.
