About Ovacome

Ovacome is the national ovarian cancer support charity. We support:

• those diagnosed with the disease
• those who have a relative, partner or friend who has been diagnosed with the disease
• the clinical and research community who are working to diagnose and treat the disease

Every two years Ovacome consults with our members and people using our service to gain your views. Your feedback is invaluable and helps us provide the support and information that is most needed by anyone affected by ovarian cancer. Your answers will only be used by Ovacome. Unless you ask us to get in touch about your answers and give us your contact details in the survey we will not contact you about your response.

Thank you for filling out this questionnaire, it should take you no more than 15 minutes.

Some questions are optional (required questions are marked with an asterisk *). Your answers are very valuable to us, so we would be grateful if you could fill out as much of the survey as possible.

You can choose to respond to the consultation anonymously.

At the end of the consultation you will be invited to enter a draw to win one of five £20 LoveToShop vouchers. To ensure your responses can remain anonymous, you will be taken to a new link to leave your name and contact details for entry into the draw.

Thank you for your time!
