Welcome to the Gynaecological Cancer Support website

Our Aim

To foster collaborative psychosocial care for women diagnosed with gynaecological cancer, their families and carers.

Throughout the development of this site, we were lucky to have the input of many women living with gynaecological cancer. They were involved in the early stages, helping us to identify the specific needs of women with the disease, and during the development of the site they offered invaluable comments and suggestions. We are indebted to them for their generosity and support.
 
The diagnosis of gynaecological cancer has a significant impact on the well being of women and their families. Fortunately, the timely provision of psychosocial support, that validIates and normalizes the expression of the range of understandable emotional responses to the diagnosis of cancer, has been shown to improve quality of life outcomes.

This website contains a variety of important tools and information for women with gynaecological cancer, their family, partners, carers, and friends, and the health professionals involved in their care.
