  • Hey Nannychrissy, 

    I'm sorry about the nerve damage you have been experiencing in your legs since you had your radiotherapy. You can find out more about nerve changes and the side effects of radiotherapy for cervical cancer on our website but if you'd like to discuss your concerns with one of our cancer nurses, you're welcome to get in touch with them on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    I'm sure some of our members who have contended with this will offer their advice and share their experiences with you soon as well.

    Wishing you all the best with your recovery NannyChrissy47.
