Cervical cancer

Hi I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2022. The treatment I was given was radiotherapy, chemotherapy and brachytherapy.  I am cancer free and now undergoing 6 monthly check ups. 
recently I have been feeling tired, irritated and slightly burning sensation around my pelvis area and uncomfortable around my vagina.  Is this normal or should I get another appointment?

  • Hi and thank you for your post,

    We would always say it is best to be safe and get any new symptoms you are concerned about checked out. As they will know your situation, it is worth contacting your nurse specialist (CNS) and they will advise you what the best way forward is and whether or not you will need an earlier appointment. Alternatively, if you are unable to get through to the team at the hospital, it might be worth getting an appointment with your GP.

    I hope you can speak to someone very soon who can address your concerns.

    Take care, all the best
