The news we all dread hearing.

17/1/2017

.Today I heard the sad news that yet another one of our peach sisters has got a recurrence of womb cancer.
Just when these women think they are turning a corner and putting their cancer diagnosis behind them,  it comes back and slaps them in the face.  Very often the second round hits home harder than the first and sends them reeling.

It also affects me deeply too and I’m finding it harder to deal with each recurrence. I feel like I’ve become very close to a lot of these women; some have been with us for a few years and each  time the rollercoaster takes a swing round the corner it’s like a punch in the stomach.

Maybe it’s just me being a menopausal old fart, but I can’t help but feel the pain and anguish that these women are going through.  At least half a dozen in the past few months have heard the news that we all dread – so much for womb cancer being an “easy” cancer to have!!

How can we ever get our lives back on track and find some sense of normality when we have the thought of it coming back hanging over us? Do we try and ignore it or learn to live with it as an inevitable side effect of being a cancer patient?

Try as do to detach myself from what is happening to others, I can’t help but feel their fear and frustration as they face the future of more gruelling treatment. 
One thing is for sure though, WCSUK will always be here for them and we will support them throughout whatever comes their way.

2017 - we are ready for you!

Well, we are only 4 days into 2017 and we have already had 2 requests for some awareness leaflets so these will be going out in the post soon.

We have also received a small donation from one of our supporters who organised a dress down and awareness day at her work before Xmas so that will go towards helping us to continue with our awareness work. We are extremely grateful for every single donation – every single penny helps to get the leaflets printed and posted out and raise awareness
.

2017 is going to be yet another busy year. There is still lots of awareness to be raised and undoubtedly there will be more women coming to us for support and information.
We have achieved so much since we started back in April 2011, and with the help of some lovely ladies, we have a lot more to do to continue in our efforts to spread the word about womb cancer.

We hope you will join us as we continue in our efforts to get womb cancer the attention it needs in order for women to know as much about it as cervical or ovarian cancer. There is something wrong when the most common gynaecological cancer is hardly talked about or known about. We are working hard to change that.
