I have just recovered from cervical cancer and want to tell you not to lose hope. Don't except long waiting times ring everyday and check for cancellations. Check out your rights on the patients charter on direct gov.com too as once diagnosed with cancer they have to see you within so many days!!! I had stage 2b squamouse carcinoma10cm by 4cm and had 5 weeks of radiotherapy and 5 sessions of chemotherapy. Cancer still active but reduced in size to allow for a hysterectomy December 8th 2015. This has been difficult and just recovered from a nasty infection.  Remember to keep pushing forward and don't accept long waiting times. Good luck stay positive. Sue.
