Just been given diagnosis of endometrial cancer and news has come as complete shock . The word cancer terrifies me as so many family members have had a poor outcome 

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

    A cancer diagnosis can indeed bring a lot of shock, stress, confusion and many questions but talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot so can I direct you to this link to our very supportive Womb (uterus) cancer group as this will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    Can I also highly recommend our various Macmillan Support Line Services - you can call them free on 0808 808 00 00 This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link.

    We also have our ‘Ask an Expert’. section where you can post questions to our mostly Volunteer Experts but please allow 2 working days to get a reply.

    Our Online Information and Support Section  is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.

    Talking to people face to face can help a lot so check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area or a Maggie’s Centre as these folks are amazing.

    You may want to put some information in your profile can help a lot Click here to see how to add details as this helps everyone to see a little about you

    All the very best.
