Hi Skips

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I too have Ovarian Cancer- was diagnosed in 2023.

I don't usually post and only today have joined so I can post. Not sure why I felt like getting on here today. In any case I saw your message and as I have benefited from the help they have given me just thought I'd share Ovarian Cancer Australia's details in case you don't know about them

They have a free support program available to those affected by ovarian cancer across Australia where you can be linked up with a nurse over the phone that you speak with the same one each time you want a chat.

helpline on 1300 660 334
