Today was the first session of this six-part series. It was a rewarding experience to hear the stories of other women who have also been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Despite the differences in each case, there was also a common thread that bound everyone together. It was a safe space to be able to discuss with others the physical and emotional challenges of dealing with this disease. A commitment of 1.5 hours once a week for 6 weeks is worth it! Attending this group helped me feel validated by others who can truly appreciate what it means to have cancer.2
