Cervical cancer- treatment plan?

Hi, I am very newly diagnosed with cervical cancer. My staging has varied but I think it has settled and agreed on cervical/pelvic with pelvic lymph nodes enlarged. I start my 5 week external radiation therapyster tiday followed by 4 x brachytherapy sessions but no chemo or surgery. My consultant keeps saying not to focus on no chemo but I want to take every swing I can at it- can anyone recover or go into remission with just radio/brachytherapy?? I just need a shine of hope in these really dark times 

  • Hi! Ten years ago I was diagnosed with stage1b1 cervical cancer. I had a trachelectomy for surgery and did not go through chemo or radiotherapy. I'm pleased to say I have been in remission and cancer free since the surgery with regular checks. I know we are all at different stages and it's not a one size fits all plan but please stay strong and know that your consultants will give you the treatment that will give you the very best of chance to fight this! I hope this gives you some reassurance that sometimes you don't need chemo to win the battle.
