Family and friends group

When someone close to you is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, you may experience lots of different emotions. You may feel others around you don't understand what you're going through.

Ovacome is here to support you. Our family and friends group is for anyone whose loved one has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. 

The group provides an opportunity to meet others, share your experiences, and ask for advice. It's also an opportunity to ask the Ovacome team any questions you might have about the disease and treatments. Our aim is support you and help you to manage the practical and emotional aspects of caring for someone with ovarian cancer.

The group takes place once a month. However those who attend are invited to join a Whatsapp group, which allows you to connect with others from the group and ask questions at any time (this is optional).

The group will meet on the last Tuesday of every month, 11am - 1pm. You do not need to stay for the whole two hours; you are welcome to join us for as long as you want. 

You can register to join our Family and Friends group below and we will add you to the group mailing list. Each month you will be sent an email one week before the group is due to take place, asking you to confirm if you will be attending. Once you have confirmed your attendance, the joining instructions will be sent to you the day before the group takes places. You can ask to be removed from the group mailing list at any time. If you register to join and the next group is due to take place in less than a week's time we will send you the joining instructions the day before the group takes place. After this you will be sent an email each month to confirm your attendance as previously described.

If you do not receive these emails from Ovacome, please check you email junk folder. Please call 0800 008 7054 if you have any queries.
