Thanks so much!! I am so scared for her but trying to be strong for her. She is taking pain meds for the moment as she is struggling with her lower back ache. 
I just feel useless as I can't help really. 

Not knowing things takes away our control, but finding out the stage and plan gives us some control back as we know what we’re facing and what we need to do. Once we know, I think we can deal with things more easily. Always hope for the best, and try not to look for the worst would be my motto! xx

Thanks Minska 

I really appreciate it. She has been having a dull pain in her back that she needs pain meds for, really trying hard not to let her see me worried. 
Thanks so much for replying Minska

Hi Sarah

You can help just by being there for her, believe me! She may want to rant, cry, and that’s okay. One thing I would also add is that you don’t always need to be strong! It’s not possible for anyone to be strong all the time, not for any of us, and you need to take care of yourself too. It’s ok for you not to be strong all the time, and you will need support too. And once treatment starts, there are lots of practical ways to help which you can do..things like making meals, helping with housework, that sort of thing if you live close enough. For now, I’m sure she will appreciate having you to lean on for emotional support. xx 

Thank you so much. Really. 

You are so welcome Sarah. Please come back and keep us posted with what’s going on and we will all help to keep you going. xx

Dawn, advanced cervical cancer gives a lot more symptoms than an infection in the cervix and a few spots of bood-honestly.  It is always a possibility with cancer that it cannot be cured completely, but you should really try to stop thinking you’re not going to make it, when you don’t even know what the treatment will be. I’m concerned that you are so negative already this will have a very bad impact on whatever they tell you from the MDT meeting, and trying to stay positive is a crucial factor in dealing with the challenges of both cancer and its treatment. 

I had a large-ish tumour, visible to the naked eye on examination, but I refused to let myself think I wouldn’t make it. And I’m still here! There is always treatment, from surgery to palliative care depending on stage. Always. xx

Hello can anyone tell me how long you waited to be contacted after MDT meeting, mine was on Tuesday and still nothing, i rang the specialist nurses today and left a message they didn't get back in touch x

Hi Dawnann, 

I was told when it's my MDT meeting I will get a call wed afternoon or Thursday morning.  So I assumed meeting was on a Tuesday.  I haven't had it yet so no experience just going off what they told me.  I hope you get some better news soon.  Can I just ask if anyone on this forum has a mirena coil in? Ive just read I shouldn't have it as have CC but no1 has mentioned getting it out yet?
