Hi, I see you’re having surgery on 6th June. I had a radical hysterectomy just over 2 weeks ago for exactly the same grade/ level of cervical cancer. The surgery though major is do-able, first few days you have catheters, drains, line in your hand and feel pretty bad. I had extra morphine injected in my arm for pain. Then quite quickly you start to feel better, stronger, walking around etc. I’m now really feeling quite good, scar is healing well, just a weird and a bit disconcerting numbness around the scar and downwards to the top of my legs which will apparently go but no time frame on that. I was thrown into surgical menopause even though I’m in my early 50’s and that’s been quite challenging - horrible night sweats that almost feel like a fever and emotional up and downs and wanting to cry but then I guess there’s also an element of shock and upset at the whole process of diagnosis and rapid surgery. Basically, good luck, it’s a relief to know that the cancer and it’s surrounds are out and you move on from there..

Hi, could I please ask how long you waited from diagnosis to surgery please ?

Hi Got Diagnosed in April and surgery June so really quickly. Although I know it doesn't feel like it sometimes.  Hang in there and here if u need anything x

Thank-you 

I was told I had cancer 8th April. I was not in the meeting last week after them discovering the cancer was bigger, it was postponed to this week (tomorrow) I still have no stage and grade and it been 7 weeks now. I'm really stressed and just hope I have some information tomorrow.

Oh bless I know it's so scary anyway without having to wait. I hope all goes well and you get some answers soon xx please keep me updated x

My stage is 1b2 but without clear margins so have to have chemo radio for 5 weeks. 

Absolutely devasted

Hi Sosig, I had a hysterectomy just over 2 months ago after having a Lettz procedure and a cone biopsy. Mine was a total hysterectomy though. I felt pretty bad the first few days but then after you start to feel better with each day. I agree, it was quite overwhelming at times with a lot going on over the span of 2 months (from diagnosis to surgery), the hospital visits, the scans, the waiting. I'm feeling good now and glad I'm on the other side of it. Now regular check ups for the next 5 years

I'm so sorry to hear this x

Hi sorry have been quiet for a while getting over my surgery. All went well with the operation, but got a kidney infection so had to stay in hospital for 9 days. This set me back about a week but I'm getting there now. Got a call last week to say they got all the cancer and no further treatment necessary, I am so lucky.  How is everyone else doing. Xxxx
