I have just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and because I’m a low bmi they can’t operate until I put weight on.  This is very worrying.  What other treatments would they use??

  • Hi  and welcome to the Macmillan Online Community but sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

    A cancer diagnosis can be challenging in so many ways but talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer journey can help you navigate this difficult time but I see you have joined our supportive Ovarian cancer group as this will be a good place to connect with patients and families navigating the same type of cancer journey.

    To go to the group just click on the link above then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service can give lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear. We also have Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers can be found on our Online Information and Support Section

    All the very best ((hugs))
