newly diagnosed cervical cancer

so Hello my name is Jo. Yesterday I was diagnosed with cervical cancer which looks like it may be also in my uterus. I had a smear test one and a half years ago and it was normal. I had pre cancer CIN 20 years ago. Has anyone else had a normal smear then shortly after been diagnosed with cervical cancer? I am baffled about how this could have happened and feeling angry too.

Also anyone else with cervical/ uterine cancer if so what was your outcome? X

 

  • Hi, Jo, I was diagnosed with womb cancer in August 2014 and was told that the biopsy of my cervix showed it was cancer free.  Three weeks later after my hysterectomy I was told I did, in fact,  have cancer of the cervix with a very deep invasion.  I'm afraid I have never been given a satisfactory explanation.  My surgeon told me that biopsies and scans are invariably unreliable!

    I think the outcome, Jo, depends on what treatment you choose to have and/or what your oncologist suggests.  Wishing you all the best!I
