Cervical cancer

Radiotherapy was unsuccessful so I had to have my cervix removed alongside some lymph nodes - can I expect a full recovery ? 

  • Hello Jade, and thank you for posting.

    It is difficult for us to say what your recovery will be like as we are not part of your hospital team. A lot depends on your stage, type, and grade of cervical cancer, your health in general, and your response to treatment. The detail of this information is only known by your team, so do talk to them at your next appointment, or speak to your specialist nurse (CNS).

    Take care and I hope you get the information you need. If you find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Sarah.
