This looks like a good start.
But I don’t see the ovarian cancer grouo that I thought had been started.
I dont appear to be following any groups, and yet somehow I get emails anyway.
Nor do I know why I was signed up for this….

Hi Cynthia,
Good questions.
1. Members are talking about ovarian cancer in the Cancer group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/cancer/
You can find ovarian specific discussions here:
– New to group. Have ovarian cancer http://mayocl.in/2cDi7tK
– Ovarian cancer stage4 http://mayocl.in/2cdknnA

2. If you click your @username, you will see your profile page. Here you can see that you took part in the webinar last May.
– Interactive Webinar: What Women Need to Know about Ovarian Cancer http://mayocl.in/2d4k4NQ

Having signed up for the webinar activated your getting the email notifications. You can tailor the type of emails you get by:
a) Follow groups that interest you https://connect.mayoclinic.org/groups
b) Set your notification preferences to receive notices only about the groups and discussions you follow https://connect.mayoclinic.org/account

Of course, you always have the option to unsubscribe, but I hope you will instead join the discussions relevant to you.
