Hi. Sorry about your diagnosis, but hope this site will offer you some support. It generally work by people posting questions, having a rant, sharing their worries and fears and generally talking about stuff with people that are going through or have gone through similar experiences which is very helpful. You will hopefully find lots of support on here, we are a band of warriors helping each other out offering support and advice to each other and helping each other get through this roller coaster ride. I have been on other forums but have found this one to be the most relevant and helpful. So feel free to get it all off your chest whenever you feel like it. X

I don't know if you can get to London but on the 5th March there is an all-day meeting with Ovacome staff at a hall in Central Street which is very close to Old Street tube station. I can send you details if you would like. I live in Penzance but I still think it is worth the rail fare and accommodation costs to go to it. Gio

Thanks Gio,

Will have a look on the calendar and get back to you, it would be nice if some of the ladies could go, I don't think there is enough meetings in the London area for us to attend( not that I've found anyway)

Regards
