How and when share with your loved ones

Hi LidiaUK

It is a hard decision and I think it is a very personal one. I have a relatively small family and they all knew I was having a hysteroscopy so when I was told at that point it was cancer I told them straight away even though I still had the MRI and CT to come. The only thing I would say is that if you’ve told one son it may be better to tell them all so everyone is in the same position. There is a really good womb cancer chat group on this site with lots of lovely supportive ladies with so many different experiences…you may find it useful to join.

Hello Lidia (LidiaUK (af4d9e697b48497f8eb2cb28146d90f1)) 

Welcome to the online Community. I am Brian one of the Community Champions here at Macmillan.

I agree with Linda above, as you have told one son it's best to tell the others - then they are all aware of the facts at almost the same time. Linda's also right about the cracking womb cancer group we have here. Here's a link to it:

Womb (uterus) cancer forum 

Just click in the link I have provided and it will take you there. Once you have joined the group, you can introduce yourself in the "New Here - Say Hello" section. You will find plenty of support there from ladies on the same or similar journey.

If you need any help in navigating the Community please do get back to me.

I wish you well moving forward.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Linda, 

I think you are right. Thank you for the advice

I'll share it with them all. It's a bit scary because I have no control over their emotions. 

Thank you

Hi Victory, 

I have joined  to the womb cancer forum.

Thank you for your help and prompt support. 

I know I remember how I felt when I did it to make it worse it was one of their birthdays and the other was on holiday! Trouble was they both wanted to know how the hysteroscopy had gone so I had little choice. They are bound to be worried and upset but you will feel better once you have told them … get it out of the way xxx
