Hello Helle, 

I just wanted to wish you the best of luck for your gynaecology appointment next week. You did well to go and see your GP when you found your lump on your cervix and it's good that they are being thorough and investigating it properly. It's normal to be scared especially given your family history and the fact your mum sadly died of womb cancer but this doesn't mean that the same is happening to you right now and there could be other reasons to explain this lump as the doctor said. It's important though to get this looked at properly and it won't be too long now until you see the gynaecologist and hopefully get some definite answers. 

You are not overreacting though - it's completely understandable that you are feeling this way and to worry about your daughter  but try if you can to take one day at a time and to keep well away from the temptation to look anything up online on Google as this will only make you worry even more and give you the least likely and worst case scenario. We have helpful tips on how to cope with waiting for news which I hope will help you feel a little better during this anxious time when you are waiting for answers. 

I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have noticed a similar lump on their cervix before and went through the same tests and that they will be along shortly to share their experiences with you. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
