In this webinar, Gemma Roth, gynaecological oncology CNS at Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, will speak about follow-up after treatment for ovarian cancer. We will cover:
- CA125 monitoring
- When physical exams and imaging could be undertaken
- Why follow up varies
- When to contact your team
- The role of the GP
- Managing ‘scanxiety’ around OPA and results
Once Gemma has spoken, we will open the session to questions. As with all our sessions, there is no obligation to participate.
Gemma obtained her nursing qualification from Kingston University, London, UK in 2012 before beginning her career at the Royal Marsden Hospital, London, where she specialised in haemato-oncology for 8 years. In her current role Gemma runs 4 nurse led clinics including surveillance, on treatment and PARP clinics. Gemma's big passions lie within holistic care, education and service improvement and she also works with charities to help improve patient experience and offer extra support to patients around the region and country.
