  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm very sorry to read that you have been dealing with a granulosa cell tumour for over 2 years now and I can understand why you'd feel angry with life right now.

    The community is divided up into different groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the ovarian cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support. I've had a look in the group and there are a few people there with this type of tumour.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

    If you need any help finding your way around the community just give me a shout.
