Hi Sharon,

You have come to the right place to find understanding and empathy! I also had cervical cancer, I was diagnosed with stage 2A in Nov. 2012. I  had 4 chemo sessions, 26 external and 6 internal radiation treatments and finished treatment in March 2013.  My cancer experience is still on my mind although not as often as it was in the past. I found comfort and help here, on this website.  Sometimes I  try to comfort others, sometimes I need comforting. So welcome and I hope you find the same.

Hi

I have been diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer. I have had a radical hysterectomy a week and a half ago. I had my ovaries and lymph nodes removed as well. My recovery has been amazing. I had keyhole surgery. I go back to see doc 29 August to see if need more treatment.  

I am so pleased to hear your treatment went well and obviously realise what you went through to get to where you are now.

I will be scared again when go back as you always think worst don’t you?

I am already feeling a bit like you. My own sister comes across as though I have had hysterectomy so now everything will be fine and dandy.  Well I hope she is right but I think for you and me this is never going to go away although I know will get easier.  

When family and friends talk about holidays etc next year or future events I can’t help thinking please god if I’m still here.

Anyway, just wanted you to know I understand exactly what you mean. Good luck for the future and keep in touch if you need to chat.
