I hope your laparoscopy goes well next week Rob and I'll have my fingers crossed that your cancer hasn't spread.

Hi Rob,

Sorry to read about your diagnosis, welcome to Cancer Chat and good luck with your next tests and scans which will confirm the type, stage, and HER status of your OC. This will inform the treatment options you have available.

For what it’s worth I had a similar depressing first conversation with my MacMillan nurse when I was diagnosed 5 years ago. I politely declined her invitation to have a look around our local hospice to discuss end of life care! I think they must have a standard “welcome to MacMillan care” talk for cancer patients.

Best wishes

Dave
