Who is the group for?
The newly-diagnosed meet-up is for anyone who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the last year.
A member of our support team will introduce the session and let you know about all that Ovacome offers, including our regular online groups you may want to attend. The rest of the time will be discussion and support, a chance to get to know others and share helpful information.
When does the group take place?
This session will run every 3 months on the second Tuesday, from 2pm-3.30pm via zoom videocall or you can also dial in on your phone.

You can register to join the webinar below. You will be sent the joining instructions the day before the session takes place. If you do not receive the instructions, please check your email junk folder. Please call 0207 299 6654 if you have any queries.

What support can Ovacome offer me to attend online sessions?
If you require support to attend one of our online sessions, please let us know when you sign up. Some examples of support we can give include:
- Enabling translated captioning
- Closed captioning is available on all our Zoom sessions
- Translators including British Sign Language (BSL). We usually require around three weeks advanced notice to allow for booking.
- Tech assistance – we have a user guide to help with our online Zoom events and we are here to help people get connected. We can set up a practice Zoom meeting with a member of the Ovacome team. We can also talk through any questions you may have about this technology.
- Financial assistance - we want to ensure that Ovacome members can access the support groups they want to without worrying about the associated costs. For example, we can cover the internet costs for people who would like to join our online support groups. For more information please see: Financial assistance
By attending an Ovacome online event, you agree to our participation agreement, which you can read here. Please note that we will not tolerate any form of discriminatory or offensive comments during our event. Anyone who makes any comments that are deemed as such will be removed from the session.
We recommend that you use your personal email address to register for our events rather than a company address. This is for your privacy.

All of our online events and groups are free. However, if you can spare a few pounds to cover the cost of your registration, this will help us continue to provide free support to those who aren’t able to do so. You can make a donation when you register below.
Thank you so much for your support.
