Hello Dragonfist I am so sorry to hear your wife's news and to hear of your dilemma as to what to do about work. I think you are likely to find further support if you join the family and friends group and the womb cancer group. The family and friends group is listed in cancer experiences and the womb cancer group is listed under cancer types. There is also a group called New To The Commununity and another called Emotional Issues. You are not alone in all this. If you phone the MacMillan helpline they have advice lines for help with advice about work as well as emotional support and advice about diagnosis and symptoms. I hope this helps you
