Greetings to all! We wanted to share a few updates with you:
Don't forget to join our HealthUnlocked Online Uterine Community where you can connect with others affected by uterine cancer. And, our new uterine cancer bag from Bag It, which includes a variety of resources, is available for shipment now. Learn about all these programs, and more, below.
Lastly, we recently learned some videomaking 101 skills and decided to try our hand at making a short video about the uterine program! - you can check out our efforts here.

Support groups are a low-pressure, empowering opportunity to exchange experiences, information, and care with women who understand what you're going through-to hear and be heard. Research shows that women with a strong community of support have better health outcomes. Our support groups are led by trained facilitators who are uterine cancer survivors. |
