Some of our members have volunteered to share their stories with the Ovacome community, to help others who might have gone through similar experiences relating to a diagnosis of ovarian cancer. If you would like to share your story with the community, please get in touch with Alice on 0207 299 6658 or by email. You can choose to either share your story in writing or over the telephone. You do not have to supply a photo if you don't want to and you do not have to share anything that you are not comfortable talking about.
