Good afternoon everyone
This is a post to let you all know about what's taking place through Ovacome's Staying Connected programme next week - and to remind you all that you would be really welcome to join us. All these events are run online via Zoom. If anyone is unfamiliar with Zoom and would like support to get set up, we would be very happy to help - please just let us know.
Monday 30 January – We are hosting a webinar as part of our clinical series titled ‘What are borderline ovarian tumours?’ between 6-7pm. This webinar will address borderline ovarian tumours, describing what they are, and why they are so called. The session will give an overview of the principles of the diagnosis and management of these tumours, the challenges faced by patients and doctors in the course of management of these tumours, and some ongoing research initiatives to address these challenges. We will be joined by Professor Mona El-Bahrawy, who is a Professor of Practice and Consultant Histopathologist at the Department of Histopathology, Imperial College London, Hammersmith Campus.

Friday 3 February – Our weekly Friday afternoon tea and chat will be meeting between 1:30 – 3:30pm.
