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 know this is an old post but I could really do with someone to talk to, I've been for a coloscopy today and the doctor saw what she said was very suspicious with a high risk of it being cancer, she said there was a nasty infection there as well, she sat me down I was in total shock, she did the biopsy and said the cells just fell away, I need mri and ct to see if it has spread, I'm so frightened, the only symptoms I've had is a few spots of blood on the toilet roll, and a bit of pelvic pain , I'm frightened to death x

  • Oh Dawnann, we’ve spoken before but I’m so sorry you’ve had such a difficult day. No wonder you are frightened. But those of us who have been through this before will try and help support you if we can. xx

  • Thank you so much I'm praying it hasn't spread cus of Not many symptoms, just hoping if it has it is treatable, thank you for replying x

  • The mri and CT will give a good picture of what’s going on. I assumed at first that my cancer would have spread, but it hadn’t, so try not to assume the worst just yet. Cervical cancer is treatable at all stages, and the treatment is very standard at all stages, so no matter what-there will be a treatment plan. I’ve been through a lot of treatment, and surgeries, so if I can help at all, I’m happy to do so if I can.xx
