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!

Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Hello,

I am new here and have been diagnosed with stage 3C Primary Peritoneal Cancer. So far I have been through 4 cycles of chemo and cytoreductive surgery. More chemo is planned for 2025 as there are still active cells present.

Any other PPC teal sisters on here? I have been told it is very rare

  • hello @GrannyT and welcome to OVDialogue. I’m so sorry for your diagnosis. It’s a club none of us want to be a part of however there are some amazing Teal Sisters on this site. If there’s someone with a similar diagnosis I’m hopeful they will respond.

    There is a wealth of info from discussions on this site. If you haven’t already you can do a search on this site to see if there are any other PPC discussion threads.

    How have you been tolerating your chemo? How many more are planned? I’m hope the treatments have been tolerable.
