Cervical cancer diagnosis

Hi 

Feeling a bit shocked at the moment as i have been diagnosed with cervical cancer. Have to have more tests done to find out what stage im at.

Even though im still shocked as i only found out on tuesday im suprisingly calm! Is this normal.

I had a bit of a nightmare with a hopital last year when i first had my abnormal snear result. Long story but got treated so badly by my consultant that never went back for a second biopsy. 

Ive now moved and have gone to a different hospital but over the last few months i have had signs as in pain, bleeding and funny bowel movements.

Just want any advice on if i had cancer last year and it was missed ( got told i was clear then got told i needed another biopsy so think my results got mixed but not really sure) would it make a big difference to how far it had spread a year on?

Any sdvice would be helpfull

Thanks xx

  • Hey,

    I have also been in this kind of situatuion too. My hospital messed me about before diagnoses.

    I had stage 2b cervical cancer.

    I also remeber feeling calm and just wanting to get on with things. I just wanted to know what the plan was and how i was going to beat this thing. 

    After chemo, radiotherapy and bracytherapy i am now 2 years cancer free.

    Always here if you need a chat :)

  • Hi laura

    Thankyou for your reply. 

    Sort of up and down now really but going on holiday next week for 3 weeks so have to wait till im back to have next procedure. Its put a bit of a dampner on the holiday but im going to visit my son who i havent seen for over a year, and after the year its been need to get away and tackle it when im back.

    The consultant had me provisionaly booked in this week but in the end was ok about me going so its my fault im having to wait.

    My first consultant was so rude and patronising that i am gonna take it further. 

    When you are dealing with someone in our situation you should be compassionate and calm but she was awful. She lied through the whole appointment and made me feel stupid for questioning why i had been told i was clear but now was back facing another biopsy. Her last words to me were you havent got cancer today but whi knows what tomorrow will bring!!! So never really got to the bottom of things coz couldnt face going back.

    My hospitsl now have contacted the first hospital to get all my records but dont know why but im so worried about what will be in my records. 

    Its just mad what goes through your head when you get told you have cancer. 

    Ive got my appointment for the 24th october now so hopefully ill get good results but again its the waiting.

    How did you cope with the treatment? Did you have a hysterectomy? And how was your hair after treatment? Mad aint it but worried about loosing my hair so much lol.

    Anyway ill stop rambling now :) 

    Thankyou again for your reply coz it really does help talking to ladies that have been through it
