Hello , welcome to the online community, I did a quick check before replying and see that you’ve done your profile, and joined the ovarian cancer group, and posted there already. Well done and I’m sure it won’t be long until a conversation gets going over there. I have a different cancer but know that worry about things affecting your family my daughters have pale skin and red hair like me and their Dad and I hope they won’t follow along with a diagnosis like mine. Waiting for results, or for things to move along can be an anxious time, I’m waiting for my treatment to restart after a Covid19 break. I hope your chemo experience during lockdown hasn’t been too bad.
I hope between the peer to peer support and the helpful information and support pages that your fighting through can be as easy as it can be. I’ve put a link in below to a page for support that I’ve found useful, it leads onto emotional support and other practical stuff I thought if I found it useful you might to.
