  • Nicki's Circle Wellness Support Group - we provide ongoing support for those who have received a uterine cancer diagnosis by facilitating this support group two times per month. This is a safe space where individuals can connect, share information, and support one another.

  • Financial Navigation - We have great financial advocates that can work with you to maximize your insurance coverage, help you enroll in an insurance plan, look for funds to help you through your treatment, etc. 

  • Cancer Resource Guide - This resource guide was created by CGCA to assist survivors in Colorado through their cancer journey! 

 

Stay informed, but limit internet time

There is a lot of information available about uterine cancer on the internet. Stay informed without becoming overwhelmed. Take the information you find with you to doctor visits to discuss. However, if you get depressed or overwhelmed moderate your exposure and time on the internet.

 

Genetic Testing

Talk to your medical care team about genetic testing. Not only can testing help determine possible risks for cancer, it can also be an important tool for making the most of available treatment options.
