Cancerous cervical polyp

Hi! I am 45 and just been diagnosed, I have had 18 months of irregular bleeding/spotting, a year of ultrasounds concentrating on my ovaries etc, went for my routine smear and they couldn’t do it due to a very large polyp in my cervix, I was assured that 98% of polyps are benign. I was referred within 2 weeks for removal. After being called back and told I was to see a consultant I knew it was bad news, he said they weren’t expecting what they found and it’s a rare sarcoma, he said names but I didn’t catch them as was in shock. I’ve had my ct scan, biopsy’s and an mri booked next week, pre op for a full hysterectomy is also next week. Things have moved so fast. Im feeling very scared to the point I can’t sleep or eat. Im so worried it has spread beyond my womb. Has anyone else had anything like this?

  • I have just seen your post.  I have the same diagnosis and fears.  My hysterectomy should have been on 15th, but my stats all fell at the start of the surgery.  The decision was made to abort the surgery, so the surgeon had to sew my belly button slit back up and  the anaesthetists reversed the. Anaesthetic. I had a pulmonary embolism 15 years ago and they feared I had a recurrence.   This whole process is traumatic.  I woke in recovery with lots of people surrounding me. Thankfully CT scan was clear but xray showed remnants of a chest infection.  I still want surgery and my consultant has said they will put a plan together. The MDT meeting is today, so hopefully I’ll hear something. The cancer is still growing in my womb and my head is overthinking everything. 

  • I’m sorry to hear that your surgery hasn’t gone ahead, that whole episode must have been so frightening for you! 
    That’s reassuring about the scan though so hopefully it’s all contained, I really hope they get you in for the surgery asap, please let me know how it goes, I will be thinking of you as I understand how scary this is.
