Helen - advanced ovarian cancer

Hi my name is Helen I've got ovarian cancer that has spread to my tummy, liver and bowel, they can't operate to take it away 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat HelenAnn although I'm really sorry to hear that surgery is not an option to treat your advanced ovarian cancer.

    This must have been very difficult to find out but I really do hope other treatment options are available to manage your symptoms and slow down the spread of the cancer.

    Many of our members know just how upsetting and devastating it can be to receive such news, so you are not alone HelenAnn, and I'm sure you will receive some support and advice from the community soon.

    If there is anything else you would like to discuss with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to support you and answer any other questions you may have at this time.

    We're thinking of you HelenAnn and sending all our support your way.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
