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

Hi Dawn, 

I understand that this is a frightening time but you are doing the right thing in taking care of your health. Like Minska said, cervical cancer is treatable. Take it one day, one appointment, and one treatment at a time, if it comes to that. You can do it! Let us know how you do.

Thank you so much Laura hope you don't mind if I keep talking to you both x

Hi Dawn, 

I'm in a similar position to you. Waiting for an MRI. Seems the guidance is 2 weeks wait max, then 2 weeks for results.

I was told my diagnosis today, cancer for sure, but not telling me the grade..... worrying. 

Let's keep fingers crossed it hasn't spread.

Hi Rachel sorry your going through the same thing, it's the not knowing isn't it, I hope everything turns out ok for you, thank you so much for replying to me, please keep me updated and fingers crossed for us both x

No, don't mind at all! Please do keep in touch.

Hi Rachel

Welcome-I’m sorry to hear you’ve had this diagnosis, I know how horrible it is to hear those words.  It’s not that they are not telling you the stage of cancer at this point-the doctors won’t know this until scans establish the size and location of the tumour. Grade would refer to the level of cell abnormality within the tumour, but the stage is the most important thing to establish to decide on the treatment plan going forward-typically whether the stage is early and can be dealt with by a hysterectomy, or whether the treatment will need to be chemo and radiation. The toughest time is waiting for scans, results and a plan.  xx
