Understanding ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer often involves major surgery and chemotherapy, followed by years of monitoring, and some women are treated on and off for years. Many women live with the possibility of recurrence, with surgical menopause, and with changes to fertility and body image.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with ovarian cancer

Peer support can help with ovarian cancer because the fear of recurrence is hard for friends and family to hear again and again. A group is a place where you can say it as often as you need to.

Inside the room

What ovarian cancer groups often cover

  • Living with the possibility that cancer returns
  • Sudden menopause after surgery
  • Fertility, body image and feeling like yourself again
  • Keeping hope during long treatment

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Who these groups may help

  • Women with ovarian cancer in treatment, remission or recurrence
  • Women coping with menopause brought on by treatment
  • Anyone who feels alone between appointments

Frequently asked questions

Will everyone in the group have ovarian cancer?

No. A group for ovarian cancer alone does not exist on ShareWell yet. Members of the groups shown here live with many different long-term illnesses, and the gentle sessions are open to everyone.

Can I join during chemotherapy?

Yes. Groups are online, so you can join from home or from bed on the days you feel up to it.

Is there support for menopause after surgery?

Yes. ShareWell has menopause groups, which you can find on the menopause topic page.

Where can I find medical information about ovarian cancer?

The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (ovarian.org) can be reached at 888-682-7426, and the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (ocrahope.org) also supports patients.
