Cervical cancer

I have been diagnosed with grade 1b stage 2 cervical cancer just over 3 weeks ago. I an just waiting to see if i can have a radical hysterectomy or if not radiotherapy and chemo. I have had the best care with the 2 week rule followed. I had an ultrasound exam, a hystoscopy followed by a Lettz procedure.  I have just had a pet scan and mri scan also. I found it quite overwhelming,  but i am staying positive as they are saying treatable.  Should find out over the next couple of weeks which treatment i will have. Find the waiting hard but i have good support from my family and friends.  Does anyone have experience  with the hysterectomy procedure as nervous if this is the option they choose, they have said a radical hysterectomy.  Thanks

  • Hiya, not sure if I can help xx I had endometrial stage 1b grade 3,  the hospitals are doing good work on the 2 week pathway. The hysterectomy worried me but I found it so much easier then I thought would be.. went in 29th March 21 came out next day. It’s all done by machine, although I had to have my Caesarian scar opened due to scar tissue, but even that was easy, I just walked slower lol..I had everything taken but at 59 didn’t need any of it.
