after reading some stories on here ive decided to go private,

any thoughts on this greatly appreciated.thanks.
Hi bluefox
Welcome to the fourm, sorry to read of your diagnosis, how did your appointment re treatment go?
Regarding private healthcare, there is always a for and against argument with this, but I would imagine that there is no reason why you would not be able to access support from NHS also.
My husband has been treated in full by NHS and for us they have done wonders, so it is important to remember that although we all want an understanding of what happens next, what is likely to be happening to us and what the outcome may be, your journey will be unique to you.
Macmillan team are available to you on the number in my signature, they may be able to give you better advice and point you in the right direction on other areas also, such as benefits, nutrition etc. There is a large section of Cancer types on this website and the one for OC is very informative, I have added a link directly to it, in case you have not looked at it yet.
I do hope you have been given some news in to what will happen next for you, keep us updated.
Good Luck
Lowe'
