Heavy bleeding from cervical cancer

Hey,

I have stage IIIc cervical cancer, I'm having really heavy bleeds with quite big clots/flesh (not sure what it is). Sometimes it pours out of me which obviously then makes me very dizzy. 

Just wondered if anyone has experienced this,  whether it's normal or if I should be concerned? 

I've obviously experienced bleeds prior but since Friday they have been considerably heavier. Also I haven't started treatment yet if that makes any difference? 

Thank you x

  • Hello Hollybean and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry you've been experiencing heavy bleeding. It's a side effect that can often occur during treatment. You should make the medical team aware of this and any other side effects, if you haven't already. I'm sure other Cancer Chat members can offer their perspective, but if you'd like to read more on side effects, according to the treatment you had, you can here.

    If you ever need to speak to someone, our team of cancer nurses are available on the freephone 0808 800 4040. Lines are open from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. 

    I hope this help,
