It can't be cured but can be treated. She's had chemo, and has had some of a targeted antibody treatment.

Anyone have a similar experience? Which chats would be useful to join.

Thanks 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read that your mum has incurable ovarian cancer and it's natural to want to talk to others who are in a similar position.

    The online community is divided into different support groups and I can see that you've already found and joined the ovarian cancer group which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences with others who have a similar diagnosis to your mum.

    When you feel ready, you can start a new post there in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could put something about your mum's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. 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.

  • Hi, I’ve got ovarian cancer clear cell 1C. I finished my chemotherapy last August and now I have a telephone consultation/check up every three months. I’m scared etc. Kind regards
