I would like to take a moment to welcome some new members to OVdialogue. These are individuals who joined during November.
How everyone chooses to interact with the site is a personal choice. Some like to be silent observers to discussions. For some, being able to search the site for information relative to their experience is what provides them with most value. For others, they like to engage in discussions or start one right away. I know a few of the new members are already fully engaged which is great. There is no right or wrong approach. OVdialogue is here for all Teal Sisters as a resource, in the capacity that works best for each of us.
As new members, if you haven't already done so, please feel free to introduce yourselves. Sharing your story can sometimes help make a connection to others. If you have a specific question to ask others, please let us know. You can start a NEW POST using the black button at the top right of your screen. In the "Discussion Topic" you can either post the item you are interested in e.g., Steroids during chemo OR if you are introducing yourself, just type Introduction as the subject. Regardless of how you engage, please know that we are here for each other.
As well, you can capture your personal cancer journey/story in the BIO section of your Profile. It is a personal choice on whether you want to provide this information. It is not a requirement. I recently revisited mine and it provided a reminder of how far I had come from my initial diagnosis.
NOTE: If you want to modify your BIO, just click on your little "circle" near the top right of this page. Go to the "Profile" section and then click on the "pen" symbol to the right of BIO. Also a tip, if you are using an iPad, turn your iPad horizontally as sometimes the full screen doesn't show correctly in vertical mode.
Welcome:
