What an amazing year its been for WCSUK!From a chance meeting between myself and Debra, both of us womb cancer survivors; has sprung a mutual support group full of wonderful women, each with their own story to tell.
The past year has seen WCSUK grow from its small beginings on Facebook to over 330 supporters.
As well as the FB page and chat group, there is this blog, the twitter account and the petition page - all brought together by the website set up for us by Debra's daughter Annette.
We ran a successful awareness campaign during September as well as a fundraising auction to help add funds to the research project being run by Dr Ellis at Hammersmith Hospital.
Debra sold Christmas cards designed by Annette and I continue to make and sell jewellery for the fundraising.
So, its been a busy year - full of highs and lows as we follow some of the women in the group through their treatment schedules.
So here's to the next year - and beyond! What does the future hold? Well, we've still got a long way to go to dispell the stereotypes about the women who get womb cancer and we've got a lot more awareness raising to do but our priority has been and always will be to offer support and advice to those women who have womb cancer.
Because, no one fights alone!
