i I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in November , it is stage 2 a/b . I have had the combined chemo ,carboplatin and paclitaxel for first six weeks once a week. . I wore cold cap so l kept my hair . It’s a worry when on chemo of sickness and nausea but was given plenty of meds to keep it at bay .i then finished that and went on to chemo radiotherapy . This was 5 weeks of daily rads and weekly chemo of cisplatin . My bloods were so shot that I only managed 2 chemos . I then finished with 3 doses of brachytherapy . This was my treatment plan which I understand is the norm . I have stated all this because if you have any questions etc or any help or advise I can give please ask . Kind regards val

Prior to my diagnosis I had been suffering from uti quite a lot and when I noticed bleeding I thought it was from uti . I was also prescribed vaginal pessary as being an older lady was told things get dry in vagina etc . So stupidly I didn’t think the bleeding was serious ( it was very intermittent) . It got worse so went to see gp who then put me in the 2 week hospital visit . I had had no pain and about 8 yrs previous I had same symptoms which turned out to be harmless polyps . I was told at my first hospital visit it was likely to be cervical cancer . I was then sent for more tests ct scan and mri . It all happened quickly and I started treatment within a couple weeks . I am doing ok Thankyou
My moms at the stage where they found abnormal cells, some thickening of the lining and has had mri and mdt meeting this last week. We got an appointment tomorrow to discuss and im just losing my marbles :(
