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

  • Hi, i recently finished my treatment for cervical cancer. Prior to the treatment starting and before i even knew i had cervical cancer was because of heavy bleeding which gradually became heavier and heavier until one day i hemorrhaged in the bathtub. I had the mass removed and then after started radiotherapy and chemo. After the mass was removed the bleeding (the bright red resh blood bleeding) and i only had very light bleeding which was the residue left behind from the surgery. 

     Im sure your oncologist will review your condition before starting treatment and as the treatment progresses the mass will get smaller and smaller and the bleeding will eventually stop  

  • Hi, I’ve just been diagnosed with cervical cancer… can I ask about the treatment you had? How did you feel? Has anything changed? Did you have chemo then radiotherapy? Sorry if it’s rude to ask, I’m just a bit scared. I have two young children and want to be the best mum I can be and I’m terrified 

  • Hi Izzy, ofcourse i will be ahppy to share my experience. I had radiotherapy everyday for 5 weeks and chemotherapy schedules once a week but i got ill on the 3rd cycle of chemo and my neautrophils dropped so the doctors decided to cancel the remaining 2 chemo sessions, and 2 brachyherapy sessions twice after the 5 weeks of radiothrrapy. Praise to God it was much easier than i thought and thr most stressful thing but was actually the travelling back and forth each day. The radiotherapy was painless and the Chemo was ok but only used to boost the affects of the radiotherapy so didnt affect the overall plan. Brachytherapy was a bit unconfortable but was only twice. I eas actually diagnosed while pregnant and the other 3 kids i have are all below 8 so i can totally relate. You will be fine and it will be over before you know it. 

  • Hi I'm just new to this site and this caught my attention 

    I finsh my treatment last year stage 3 cervical I had radiotherapy 5 days for 4 weeks and cemo once a week for 6 weeks and 3 rounds of bracky therapy I agree with mom 7 the cemo and radiotherapy was fine it's was going in and out every day was the worst I'm a mom of 5 and it was hard going and tiring but ul do it ur a mom

    The bracky therapy on the other hand I found  very hard esp the 2nd one 

    I'm 7 months clear now but the last few weeks a few symptoms have croped up again so I'm going for a check up tomorrow xx 

    The bleeding is much apart of it u will come thro it but keep an eye of them clots u are passing if it was me I'd mention it to ur doctr. Hope u will be OK xx  

  • Thank you so much for this, I’ve read a lot online and a lot is confusing and kinda scary. Your experience has definitely helped put things into perspective and put me in a more positive frame of mind, so thank you! 
    If you have any tips or tricks you’ve learnt and fancy sharing I’d love to hear.

    thanks again ️
