Recent diagnosis of cervical cancer

I was told yesterday that I have cervical cancer and I don’t know how to cope. They don’t know what stage it is yet and I have everything going through my head. They say to try not to worry but how can you? I feel like my whole world has just come crashing down.

I wonder if you might find it helpfu lto talk things through with one of our nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. You might also find it helpful to read through this thread about how to cope with waiting for news, which has some advice and tips which may help.
