Breaking my heart about my little sister

She is only 34 and broke the news last week. She doesn't feel ready to give precise details yet apart from it's a 1b1 squamous cell carcinoma ... I'm guessing it's cervical. She will have to have some pretty radical surgery very soon and I've just found this discussion board and decided to join people who are probably going through the same thing. I need to be strong for her but inside it's tearing me apart she seems to be coping better than me.

  • Hi there, I am also 34 and was diagnosed in May with cervical cancer. I think my stage is slighlty worse than your sisters as my tumor too big for surgery. I have had my 1st round of chemo and 2nd one on Tues. My family are the same, coping worse than I am. You can chat to me anytime. Keep your chin up and remember at this stage this disease is totally treatable and try to stay as positive as possible for your sis as this is what she needs. Believe me I know.
