Hi everyone, 

I am new to all this, i was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer i am 26 and i am now in the middle of getting my eggs frozen. I will be starting chemo (once a week) and radiation (monday to friday) for six weeks. I will then have to get an internal radiation just 3 sessions of that. 

I had a meeting with one of my consultants today we were having a chat about starting my treatment, i understood that my fertility wouldnt be great after treatment. But he told me today after one week of treatment i would go into early menopause. He also said that other side effects could be damage to my bowel and bladder. It was alot to take it and it just makes the diagnosis so much more real. 

I have no children, but it was something myself and my partner had talk about. I just wanted to talk to people who was going through a similar situation and if anyone has any advice or success storys they would be great to hear. 

Thanks 

Aoife
