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.
