Question #4: How has being part of OVdialogue impacted your sense of belonging / connection to a community?

#OCCinfoandupdates

Without OVdialogue I feel I would be very lost at times through my journey. Being able to be honest in a raw manner, seek counsel, share experiences and learn from others in this community has helped me not feel alone. I am so appreciative of the connections I've made with the Teal Sisters in this forum. 

My first contact with OCC was the Teal Tea events, then I discovered OVdialogue. It has been a tremendous source of knowledge and sharing, that has given me the support I needed from others who truly understand what I am going through. I would be rather lost at this point, without that sense of company on this journey. After 26 months of treatments, I am doing well, but need the understanding of those who know it hasn't all just gone away. Thank you OCC.

One huge realization that came after my diagnosis was my need to feel connected to others who truly understood how this experience impacts our lives. I found people that I could relate to on this dialogue site and it made a positive difference to my state of mind. Utter despair was replaced by my renewed determination to focus on resilience and healing. The conversations with these wise, sensitive women made all the difference. 

I'm so glad I found Ovdialogue when I was starting my journey, it definitely helped my feel less alone on this journey connecting with people who have already been through this journey and continue to go thru this journey and also connecting with others who were at the same point in the journey as me.  There is so much support and positivity here that it helps calm the anxiety and worry that comes with this diagnosis.

This community has me feel not so alone.  Before I started regularly reading the posts I truly felt very alone - I knew no one with this disease.  I also find that, because it is a Canadian site , I get applicable information about what is expected care in Canada
