I'm sorry, I think the nearest support group to you are the COPES groups at Basildon and Southend hospitals. If you google COPES Southend hospital, you can see if it's any good. We have a lady who comes from Becton who was treated in a London hospital, cos it's a lovely friendly group. The Southend one is the first Saturday of each month but I'm not sure about the Basildon one. Both are run by the CNS and have massages, reiki, relaxation sessions all free for patients. I hope that is helpful

Love Wendy xx

Thanks so much for that Wendy. I'm new to the site and this was my first question! Basildon and Southend would be a little too far for me but at least I have this website to liaise with people in a similar situation. I only came across it by accident but I'm glad I did!

Glad you could join us! Sorry you had to! I'll ask around to see if there are any support groups my contact from down your way knows of. If you want a chat, I can message you my number if you like.

All the best,

Love Wendy xx

Hi, I think you are quite near me,I live in Collier row. Send me a private message if you would like to chat or possibly meet up. I was desperate to get in touch with someone who knew what I was going through when I was first diagnosed. Best wishes, Lisa x

Dear Elaine

There's no support group in my area of Wales. I've met another member on the site who lives nearby and we're going to start our own - hopefully with the first meeting in March as it's Ovarian Cancer month. The hospital were very supportive and said they'd distribute leaflets to all the Ovarian Cancer patients.

If you think of starting something with a couple of members nearby let me know. It would be great to share ideas and good practice.

Love Annie x

Dear All

We are at some point thinking about having a group in central /east London which will hopefully get off the ground in a few months time. I do not have any further details at present but when there is more concrete information it will appear on our website. If you want to discuss things further do give us a ring

Best Wishes

Ruth

Hi Elaine

Not sure if its the type of thing you are looking for, but I run a monthly ladies lunch club for ladies going through any form of cancer, there are 3 of us with ovarian cancer there... We do have 2 groups, one meets in Hertford, Hertfordshire, not far from Enfield and the other meets in Sawbridgeworth, Essex, not far from Harlow. Take a look at our website brafternoon.co.uk I must say it is really supportive to meet with like minded ladies even if it is just for lunch once a month, but good to get away from the hospitals some times... I wish you well Michelle
