Possible Cervical Cancer

Attended the doctors today, due to some itching down below, I thought I was just going to come out with some cream, ended up coming out with a leaflet about cancer and waiting for an appointment within 2 weeks to see a specialist, I have a swollen cervix. I have never felt as scared in my whole life, just don't know what to do with myself other than cry. :-( xx Just want to talk to other people going through the same xx

  • Hi SH2017,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm very sorry to read how you're feeling, although I can understand this must have been a shock. I'm not sure what tests the doctor did but either way the specialist will be able to advise further and hopefully before too long you'll have all the information you need and any potential next steps to take.

    I know this must feel like a bit of a whirlwind at the moment and the waiting for further information may be a bit tough, but try not to get too far ahead of yourself and in the meantime I would suggest trying to keep yourself busy and distracted to keep your mind off things as much as possible.

    We're always here for support on this forum should you need it at any point - and do browse or search the forum if you would like to find any other relevant discussions at all.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
