Cervical cancer

hi I'm 29 years old and was diagnosed with cervix cancer luckily I only had to have surgery as no further treatment was needed. I found out 12 weeks after I had my son as I went for a smear which was down to my mum as she was diagnosed with womb cancer a few weeks before me. We're both fine now after surgery. What I would like to know is has anyone had reaccurance of cervical cancer as my back is really sore lately and I seem to have the same discharge again as I did prior to surgery I'm worried it may have come back. I have a doctors appointment on Thursday about it I've also have a recent check up but all they did was an internal sweep. I was shocked that they didn't do a scan, apart from that I just get on with things I don't really think about the cancer or what I've been through most days I forget but I do have bad days every now and again. My thoughts and love is shared to everyone that has had this terrible illness what ever stage your at...god bless xxx

  • Welcome to the forum Charlie,

    I'm glad to hear both you and your mum are doing well after surgery. It can be scary thinking that it may have returned but you did the right thing by going to your doctor to get yourself checked after you noticed the same symptoms had returned.

    If you are concerned that they didn't do a scan maybe you could mention this to your doctor today and see what they say. I'm not sure what time your appointment is but I just wanted to wish you good luck and let you know that we'll be thinking of you.

    Please let us know how you get on. We're here for you if you need us.

    Kind Regards,
