Just saying hi.

Hallo Owl and welcome to the group! Bless you, I still remember the impact when I was told back in mid November last year. Could I ask what you’ve had done so far test wise and exactly what you’ve been told? Have you been given probable grade and stage yet?

Hello  and a warm welcome to our little corner of the Online Community. I know what you mean about the disbelief when the word cancer applies to you. It's a huge leap of faith to introduce yourself so well done.

You'll find a lovely group of supportive ladies here who have all been exactly where you find yourself now. Any possibility of cancer diagnosis brings all sorts of stress and fears and if anyone can hold your hand and reassure you we will as you’re not alone in this. We're all at the start, in the middle or the end of what can only be described as an emotional roller-coaster ride. 

It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and how you came to find yourself here. Why not take a few moments to update your profile. It's always helpful for us to read if we want to ask you questions and you also won't end up repeating yourself. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) . You can amend or update it at any time. If you’re not sure what to write, just click on my username.

If you want to ask any of us any questions please come back and do so. There's always someone around and we can offer a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold or listen to a rant, we’re here for you.

It might also be a good idea to download this booklet Understanding Womb (Endometrial) Cancer. I found it invaluable on my journey. 

Click on the link I’ve created to find out more information covering diagnosis and treatments for Womb cancer.

You might also find this link to what to take in my overnight bag useful for when you have surgery.
