Hello brownsugar1 and welcome to Cancer Chat,
I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's understandable and perfectly natural to be scared sometimes, but please know that this forum is hear for you whenever you need it. This is your space and I hope you'll be able to connect with other members on here. You might feel scared because of the uncertainty of what's to come, but if you have any questions or concerns about anything it's important you share them with your medical team if you haven't already. If you ever want to talk through anything over the phone, we a have a lovely team of cancer nurses available to speak to via our free helpline. The number is 0808 800 4040 and lines open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.
You can also find guidance on our website about ovarian cancer, including treatment that might be available and ways of coping.
I hope that this is helpful in some way and that you'll keep us updated with how things are going.
