Very Unhealthy Cervix, urgent mri very worried

Hello everyone 

I'm new to the forum and joined as I've found reading the posts really helpful.

I had a routine smear a few weeks ago, they couldn't do it because of bleeding. The nurse looked at cervix and called doctor in for a look and they referred me straight away for ultrasound and trans ultrasound.

This was done and the results were I had a large fibroid, the nurse then did an internal and said she'd felt a 'bubble in my cervix and I bled a little.

I was referred for a cervical biopsy, and hysteroscopy which I had done yesterday under General anaesthetic. Surgeon said he'd taken 2 large biopsys.

When I came round the surgeon visited to say my cervix was 'very unhealthy' and referred me for an emergency mri scan and mdt team.

I got home and saw in notes written ?carcinoma of cervix.

After his comments and seeing this I am petrified I have cancer, even though they haven't actually said it, and the mri is to see how much it has spread?

I have started a new job two weeks ago and have had two days off with this and will need more time for scans so worried about losing my dream job too!

I'm a wreck..sorry to moan but had to offload.

  • Hello Kefalos and welcome to our forum.

    I see from your post that you are worried about some symptoms you have but I'm also glad you took the most important step you could have taken and went to the doctors in order to have them checked. 

    When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers on an online forum, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better.  And the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor.  

    Having said that, we do have some information on our website about cervical cancer if you feel like having a read, again, this is in no way intended to give you a diagnosis - only your doctor can do that, however I thought that a bit of information from a verified source could help to ease a little of the anxiety you're feeling.

    I hope this is helpful.

    Best wishes,
