Introduction: My wife has been diagnosed with stage 3 Ovarian cancer

My wife has been diagnosed with stage 3 Ovarian cancer , I am hoping that this site can give me support when I need it most. I am from the Nottingham area and have two grown up children i have two grandchildren and another on the way in October.

  • Hello Rush2112

    I'm sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis. It's understandable that this may be a difficult time for you both and I hope that you are being well supported by the hospital team as well as your family and friends. 

    We have some information on our website about ovarian cancer that you may find helpful. We also have a team of nurses here at Cancer Research UK that you can call to talk with if you think it may be useful. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    There is an organisation called Maggie's in your local area that is worth checking out. They often have support groups available for family and friends of someone diagnosed with cancer, as well as being a great place to pop in for a cuppa and a chat with others who understand. 

    Hopefully some of the other community members will pop along to say hello and share their experiences with you soon. Keep in touch Rush2112 and let us know how you're both getting on. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
