Cervical Cancer

Hello -

I was diagnosed with stage 2A cervical cancer 3 years ago.  I had 26 rounds of external and 6 rounds of internal radiation along with chemo.  Due to a bleeding event prior to my diagnosis I was not able to have surgery. I know how scary a diagnosis can be, the treatments,waiting for results,  the recovery.  If anyone would like to ask me questions about my experiences, please do so. Obviously everyone's cancer is different and only doctor can give medical advice,  but sometimes it helps to talk to someone who's been through it.

Prayers to all that are facing this disease.

  • Hello Laura,

    I'm going through hell at the moment. Waiting for my appointment to get any clarification. I had cervical smear test done and it came up as I might have a cancer. Blood test for ovarian cancer came back with bad news as well on top of everything I found that I have lump in my left brest.. All I do is worry about everything. A year ago I had blood in my urine. For few days but my kidneys seems okay. Because of all this pandemic I could not have any scan or check up. In last few months I keep bleeding between periods, I feel ill. I'm losing weight. If I eat it just a bit. I feel like my life going only worse and worse. I'm pushing away on my loved once. Because all I do is cry. Me and my partner argue a lot. And I blame myself for it because the state I am in. Yesterday I spend all day in hospital with bad chest pain. I got 2 injection and they let me out. I decided to find people who going through something similar or already are in good place. Last night I had suicidal thoughts and that scared me. I felt I would be better for every one... Im only 32. I'm trying to be positive I'm going to work as normal. I cannot manage mentally anymore everything is just gone beyond my control. I keep pushing my GP all I heard I called hospital someone will go back to me in 7 days. I'm glad you are feeling better and you gone stronger xx

  • Hi Cookie,

    Sorry I'm just now responding to your post. It is so important to talk to someone about what you are going through! I got into therapy after my diagnosis and after treatment was done and it made all the dfference. I learned coping skills and that a lot of people have the same fears about their health. When you are worrying all the time it really takes a toll on you mentally and physcially. I hope you are feeling better soon and get the help you need, you're worth it! Taking charge of your health is so empowering and helps get rid of that nagging health anxiety issue. 

    Keep us posted on how you are doing.
