Parents
  • Iv just had a hysterectomy on the 20 July  this year due to pre cancer cells cgin high grade hpv only after testing my womb  was I diagnosed with cervical cancer on the 9th of August  they said they had removed it all now I’m having to have my pelvic lymph nodes removed in 2 weeks time it’s such a scary time I hope it goes well for you 

  • Hi sorry to hear. I also had CGIN3 and had LLETZ but unfortunately cancerous cells were present next to the precancerous ones and am now waiting for a hysterectomy date. This is my fear too that then more will be found as every step has been a ‘surprise’ to the medical team (who are being very supportive). May I ask why they have advised to remove lymph nodes and ovaries (I have asked if I should ). Best of luck x

  • Hi maeve79 because I lost my sister to overian cancer x hope your well x can I ask how long you have to wait for hysterectomy xx
