My Ovarian Cancer
Being diagnosed with
ovarian cancer can be overwhelming. As well as anxieties about the
illness and its treatment there is an overwhelming range of
additional issues that will occupy both your and your family's
thoughts. Work and finance, how to deal with talking to friends,
and how to access good quality information are just some of the
issues which can be a source of uncertainty.
Finding the right words can be difficult, not only for you, but
for your loved ones too. Not only are they feeling shocked and
saddened by your diagnosis, they may also be afraid to upset you.
Some people find it easier to talk than others, and they may avoid
the subject of your health.
This section provides resources to help you deal with the
practical issues of living with ovarian cancer. Ovacome staff have
many years of experience, and are able to support and guide you
through the difficult times. Each year we speak to hundreds of
women who have walked their own path through this disease. These
pages are a reflection of the main issues shared by many of
you.
