A research study has just been launched into the psychological impact of cervical cancer on women and on their partners. It will be carried out by a team from the Postgraduate Medical School at the University of Surrey, who say it will be the biggest ever study of this aspect of the disease. They’ll be looking at whether the illness brings couples closer together or drives them apart, and finding out what can be done to help women and their partners cope with the emotional impact of cervical cancer.
Martha finds out about the study from Alison Nightingale, a health researcher, who was herself diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2004 and by Mr Simon Butler-Manuel a Consultant Gynaecologist from the Royal Surrey County Hospital.BBC Health: Cervical Cancer
