My Aunty has been diagnosed with terminal womb cancer. She has opted not to have surgery but is commencing Chemo on the 9th Jan. Unfortunately she lost my Uncle earlier this year so is alone with no children of her own to support her so I am trying to get a better understanding of her condition/treatment etc so that I can provide the support she will need.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your Aunt.
A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of stress, confusion and questions but talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot.
I see you have joined our very supportive Womb (uterus) cancer group, so this would be a good place for treatment support as this will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.
Just follow the link I have created then go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab and set up your very own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group and ask your questions.
You may also find our Carers Only and Friends and Family groups to be good places where you can connect with others support family through their cancer journey, looking at the practical day to day support.
You may find our various Macmillan Support Line Services to be helpful - call them on 0808 808 00 00 This free service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link.
