Just got diagnosed bit anxious

Hi there not sure if i am posting in the right place but here goes 

On the 22nd of Dec 2016 i was diagnosed with cervical cancer i was told it was between a 1b and a 2. I went to pet ct scan on the 30th dec 16 in Northampton hospital and had a long wait for the results, i cant remember the date exactly but it was around the second of January i went to see my consultant and she said it had spread to the lymphoids (not sure if i spelt that right) and most probably the bowl to she said because i am 31 they are going to do radical radiotherapy monday to friday and chemotherapy along side it any way what i really want to know is has any one had this or simular and beat it as my consult said it is stage 4 and she is unsure if she can get rid of it all or not. I have 4 kids and a husband and i am very scared i dont want to leave my family.

I could really do with some help if possible many thanks Donna

  • Hi Donna,

    So sorry to read about your news.

    It sounds like everything that could be being done, is being done.

    I have a different type of stage 4 cancer, mine is inoperable and incurable, but I've been living with it since 2013. There are currently 2.5 million in the UK living with a cancer diagnosis and a lot of us are at stage 4. You are right to be scared, but the situation is not without hope. Generally the younger and fitter you are, the better your body will be able to recover from treatment. 

    Best wishes and good luck!
