Hi there,

Thank you for your message, and we're so sorry to hear about this.

We definitely hear a lot from younger women who have been diagnosed with a gynae cancer, that they had been told it was unlikely because they were so young, or told that it's extremely rare for someone their age - none of which really helps, does it!?

Trekstock and Shine are two brilliant charities you specifically offer support for those diagnosed with cancer at a younger age. Both extremely friendly, welcoming and non-judgemental. They can be found by typing in the following on Facebook:

Shine young adult cancer support (20s, 30s & 40s)

Trekstock young adult cancer support community (20s and 30s)

If you have any questions for our gynae cancer nurse, please feel free to email [e-mail]

Best Wishes,

The Ask Eve Team x
