Newly diagnosed meet-up

Have you been diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the last year? We know that this can be a really frightening time and we are here to support you.

A new diagnosis of ovarian cancer can feel overwhelming as you try to work out what it will mean for you and understand all the new information that a diagnosis brings.

Our online meet-up is an opportunity to meet others in a similar situation, receive support and ask questions, this session will run every 3 month on the second Tuesday, from 2pm-3.30pm via zoom videocall or you can also dial in on your phone.

The date of the next meeting is Tuesday 10 June 2025.

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.

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.
