Hello Auttam

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's understandably a difficult time for you both right now and natural that you're feeling worried about how your partner will cope with everything as well. 

We do have some information on our website about uterine cancer which you may find helpful but hopefully, some of our members who have been through cancer treatment will post to share their experiences with you. 

I've had a look through the forum and can't see that we've any young women who have been through this diagnosis/treatment so I wanted to let you know about an organisation called Shine Cancer Support. They are specifically set up to support people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who have been diagnosed with cancer. It's worth checking out their website as you may be able to connect with other young women who have uterine cancer there. You could also have a look at The Eve Appeal and Womb Cancer Support UK. 

In terms of support available for your partner, I think that most members here will agree that communication is key. Keep talking to each other. Undoubtedly there will be difficult times ahead for you both as individuals and as a couple but if you can keep those lines of clear communication open, then it's easier to face those challenges. 

Encourage him to talk to his course leader or tutor at University so that they can support him. It's also worth letting his military Commanding Officer or Families Officer know the situation so that any necessary adjustments can be made over the coming months. You might want to let him know that Shine Cancer Support also runs a closed Plus One support group on Facebook where he can connect with others who are supporting a loved one with a cancer diagnosis. 

Lastly, I wanted to let you know that if either of you wants to talk with our team of nurses at any point you're most welcome to give them a call. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any support, information, and advice they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

I hope I haven't overwhelmed you with links and information and that this helps you to connect with others. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on Auttam. 

Sending my best wishes,

Hey.

Thought it might also be helpful to signpost you to trek stock who support people in 20s and 30s with cancer. I had a rare gynae cancer and found them really helpful. They have lots of advice and run sessions for partners too. They have a really friendly private Facebook group too with real life meet ups. Look us up! 

Best wishes, B
