Possible recurrence of cervical cancer?

My mum was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer in October 2000. She underwent daily treatment of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and had two lots of brahytherapy. She was given the all clear in April 2001.

 

She has since been back for a scan which was a while back and had phone consultations with the hospital.

 

A few days ago she had vaginal bleeding which was the only symptom of the cancer. She's in her sixties so it's not menstrual bleeding. Now I'm terrified it's cancer again and I just can't think of what else it could be. She is speaking to her consultant next week by telephone. Has anyone else had experience of this?

  • Hi,

    Good to know she is following up as she should. I also had a couple of CT scans and a PET scan after my treatment ended, just to make sure. I tried to look at it as a good thing, that if it was something, I could get it taken care of immediately. If it wasn't, I could move on. Let me know how things go.
