Webinar: Fear of Recurrence 2022 (Full)

Fear of Recurrence
8th December 2022

One of the most common worries women have after finishing cancer treatment is fearing their cancer will come back. For some women this fear is worse than for others and although most women say the fear lessens over time, it can have a huge impact on their day to day life, as well as those around them. This webinar covers fear of recurrence for women with ovarian cancer and will provides an overview of the IConquerFear program, an online program to help women affected by ovarian cancer manage their concerns about fear of cancer recurrence and or progression.

In this webinar, we hear from Associate Professor Lisa Beatty who provides an overview of fear of recurrence and discusses some strategies to help manage it.

We also hear from Dr Ben Smith, who is leading a team collaborating with Ovarian Cancer Australia to trial iConquerFear. Ben outlines how iConquerFear may help people get less caught up with worries about cancer coming back or progressing and some of the benefits of iConquerFear that have been shown to date.

Victoria Turner, who was diagnosed with Stage 3C high grade serous ovarian cancer in 2020 shares her personal experience when it comes to fear of recurrence and talks about how she copes and manages this fear.

We are extremely grateful for the funding received from AstraZeneca for this webinar.
