Community Connection: Ovarian Cancer Canada is looking for volunteers! Could you help?

OVdialogue – consider joining our team in the role of Community Champion. Over a few hours each week, you would be part of a team that helps connect people, support conversations and are thought leaders for OVdialogue. This is your opportunity to give back to those who have/continue to support you through the tough times, share your unique experiences, and help celebrate successes. For more details of what this entails, please reach out to @Mfallis (mfallis@ovariancanada.org).
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!

Research study on Cancer-related Fatigue

I received the following message, looking for research participants:
My name is Nicole Rutkowski. I am a PhD candidate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Ottawa. My research is in psychosocial oncology, and we are beginning recruitment for a pilot group program for cancer-related fatigue. We are reaching out to organizations with individuals who may be experiencing cancer-related fatigue to help spread the word about the project as part of our implementation efforts. 
We have partnered with the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation so that the program will continue to be offered after our research study is completed. We would greatly appreciate if you can share our study with members of your organization and/or on your social media accounts.
I've attached 2 files with further information.

  • Hello, my name is Tammy and I have been a survivor for 5 years serous carcinoma. I have tried 3 attempts of returning to work and diagnosed with cfs and fibromyalgia since then.  I sure can help anyone that is experiencing fatigue after cancer. Please reach out to me if your suffering or perhaps pushing yourself to hard I’d love to help.
  • @jobo thanks for sharing this information with our community. With fatigue so common an issue that is expressed by our group whether in treatment or in recovery, I"m sure there will be a lot of interest.
