Worried about my wife's symptoms

We are worried about my wife, shes 52 years old and in last 6-9 months has lost 2 + 1/2 stone in weight, sex is painful (has been for a while) and sometime during sex we have to change position as hip is painful. Shes recently told me she has smearing and some bleeding, very very worried she has cervical cancer. 

Doctors have done blood tests for kidney.liver,thyroid,diabetes and all came back fine, she had to wait 3 weeks after tests to get a phonecall from doctors and back to get more tests, doctors took urine sample, and more blood for more advanced tests, and shes awaiting a x ray and scan.

Surely if nothing wrong   she shouldnt loose this much weight in such a short space of time? She still has a appetite isnt tired and has no other symptoms, can anyone help please as were so worried, we have a 25 yo son who stays at home and is 24hr care and relies on his mum 24/7

  • Welcome to the forum Peediedj67 although I'm sorry about the symptoms your wife has been contending with and for the worry this is, understandably, causing.

    I'm glad the results of the tests she's had so far have brought good news and fingers crossed the next set of tests will do the same.

    Many of our members know how difficult this time can be, so you are not alone, and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.

    If either of you would like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We're all thinking of you Peediedj67 and will have fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,

  • She has a chest X-ray and a Pelvic scan both next week so we'll see what the outcome is
