Ovacome is a community for anyone affected by ovarian cancer, meaning that the charity also provides regional and online groups and events where people can meet others in similar circumstances, to share advice and offer each other encouragement along the way.
Ovacome works closely with doctors and other clinicians to ensure that those diagnosed are given the most up-to-date information to help them navigate their treatment and care. We also run a highly successful UK Survivors Teaching Students programme, giving presentations and educating student nurses, doctors and specialists on signs, symptoms and experiences of people with ovarian cancer.
We have over 4,000 members and each year we support around 18,000 people. "
