The new OVdialogue experience is only days away! Here’s what the updated platform will offer you as a valued member of our peer-to-peer community:
• A personalized experience, just for you: your member homepage displays the content you engage with most, including a resource library where you can engage in discussions directly related to the content.
• Have conversations in real time: You can respond to notifications and personal messages from people in your community directly from your email inbox; plus it’s easier than ever to return to the platform.
• Stay up to date on the latest events: upcoming activities will be listed in an events calendar right here in the platform
During this time of transition, private messaging within the platform will be unavailable beginning January 22, and posting will be unavailable beginning January 27.
We look forward to seeing you in the refreshed platform!

Managing Anxiety
Hi all, I was just wondering what you all do to manage any anxiety you may have as a result of your diagnosis? I find that sometimes my mind goes to dark places and I know that I need to refocus and think more positive. Thanks!

Hi @LISA. Welcome to OVdialogue! You are not alone - many people find they have a lot of anxiety after a cancer diagnosis and sometimes it can become quite debilitating. You are wise to reach out for help to manage it and figure out how not to dwell in those dark places. On the right side of this screen you will see a list of categories. One is called Encouragement and Support. There are several discussions in that category that you may find helpful like Anxiety, Depression, Anything but Cancer etc.
Have you received our guide called By Your Side? You can order it online at:
