2 week urgent cervical cancer referral

Hi everyone - I went to the dr last week with multiple symptoms, lower back ache constantly, my periods went very heavy for 10 days every 14 days and several other symptoms that all line up with cervical cancer - in the drs notes she put I have a large lesion on my cervix and she has put me on 2 week urgent cancer referral - she also put my cervix is consistent with cervical cancer - has anyone had similar where it was a non cancer result? Also the hospital called after they got my referral though and they said there is a 6 week wait  

  • Hi Laney1234 and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear about the urgent cancer referral you've received and that your GP thinks that the lesion on your cervix could be a sign of cervical cancer.

    I know how stressful and worrying this must be, even more so with the 6 week wait you have for your appointment, but I want you to know that we are here for you and will do all we can to support you.

    I hope this guide we have on how to cope with waiting for news will help but hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will share their experiences and advice with you soon.

    If you would to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and with their knowledge and insight they will do all they can to answer your questions, address your concerns and support you at this very anxious and uncertain time.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
