Recently been diagnosed

Hi I've recently been diagnosed with Cervical cancer and I'm absolutely shell shocked. I'm so scared and struggling with the constant roller coater of emotions. I've had an MRI scan and the nurse called to advised they think it is stage 2 A/B but need to go for a PET scan and then see consultant on 30th. I'm so scared they are going to find something else they have said I'm going to need radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I'm not going to lie I'm so petrified I just wasn't to curl up into a ball and sleep and wake up when this all over. I have so much support but I feel so alone. I feel like in trapped on my own thoughts and can't get out. X

    Hi Meme, I'm sorry you are going through this. I was diagnosed with stage 2A cervical cancer in November 2012. My best advice to you is to take it one day, one appointment at a time. Chemo and radiation are hard, but you can do it. It seems the doctors and nurses involved in this type of work are so compassionate and understanding, they make it much easier to get through. I found that talking about it made it easier, too. I've had a PET scan and may CT scans. We are here for you, whatever you need! Feel free to reach out with questions you might have.
