Cervical Cancer Resources/Communities


I didn’t have any local support groups when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, so I got the support I needed in online communities. Here is a list that I found to be most helpful, and will hopefully be of use to you as well.
The Teal Ladies: A closed Facebook group that offers support and information for women dealing with gynecological cancers
Teals the Deal: A foundation a foundation for gynecological cancer awareness’s, education and support



 



The National Foundation for Women’s Cancer: Raise public awareness of ways to prevent, detect and optimally treat gynecologic cancers; Provide education about gynecologic cancers and the importance of seeking care first from a gynecologic oncologist if a gynecologic cancer is suspected or diagnosed; Support promising, innovative gynecologic cancer research and train a cadre of clinicians/scientists to participate in clinically relevant research.




Cervivor: While everyone experiences cancer as an individual, we want to help survivors bring their collective wisdom together to create a community of advocates.


I highly recommend you check them out!
