OCA Connect Online Community
Welcome to the OCA Connect Online Forum. Many women find that one of the most challenging aspects of a cancer diagnosis is finding someone to talk to who can understand firsthand what it is they are going through. We hope you will be able to find those connections here.
The forum aims to be informative, non-judgemental and above all supportive to your needs. Search the forum above or browse posts below and don’t forget to share your own experiences.
