Sister has fungating cervical cancer

HI my sister has just been diagnosed with cervical cancer. They have said it's 'fungating' and all over her cervix . We are waiting for results of more tests to find out what stage she is at. Has anyone heard of the word fungating before?

thanks

Jackie

  • Hello Girlsjustwanna

    I'm sorry to hear about your sister's diagnosis of cervical cancer. It's understandably a difficult time for you all at the moment whilst she waits for further information about her diagnosis and what the next steps will be in treatment. 

    Fungating is another term for ulcerating and we do have a little bit of information on our website that may be helpful but I'd suggest giving our team of nurses a call. I'm sure they will be happy to explain things and try to answer any questions that you may have. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that your sister has some further news soon. 

    Best wishes,
