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

  • 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
