Why is local support important?
Support groups and cancer centres can be a great source of comfort for people affected by cancer. You can meet others with similar experiences in a friendly and supportive environment. Sharing experiences, stories or tips with people who understand can help you feel less isolated.
Cancer centres may also offer other support services. Centres often run a range of activities and complementary therapies such as relaxation, reflexology, arts and crafts, and even gardening.
What local support is available?
Let's Connect: Target Ovarian Cancer Communities
We know that living with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer can be an isolating and lonely experience at times. Meeting others who are going through ovarian cancer too can provide support, connection and a safe place to share experiences with others who understand.
You told us that there are not enough opportunities to meet others with ovarian cancer. We believe in the importance of providing opportunities to connect with other people affected by ovarian cancer in the way that's right for you. That’s where Let’s Connect: Target Ovarian Cancer communities comes in. Whether you prefer to connect online or in your local community, Let’s Connect will provide you with a network of support, strength and community from people who understand what you are going through.
