Hi @joannedb and welcome to Connect.
We have a small group of women sharing about ovarian cancer on Connect. Allow me to introduce you to @mfell @gill @jfc4 @libbysmom and @mohavegal. I'm also including @hopeful33250 in this discussion. While she doesn't have ovarian cancer, she is one of our mentors in the Cancer group and a great support.

When were you diagnosed with cancer Joanne? How are you doing today?

Hi to all…I’ve been quietly following this discussion since I discovered Mayo Clinic Connect a couple months ago. I was diagnosed with OC Stage 3b in February of 2024. I had a total hysterectomy with debulking and a two inch resection of colon, followed by six cycles of platinum based chemo that ended in August. So far doing okay though living with the expected roller coaster of emotions, especially just before labs are checked. I have so much appreciation for all of you who share your worries, questions and words of experience, encouragement, and wisdom. I’m 73 and just want to be around for eventual grandchildren!
