Hi everyone
My name is Jane. My daughter Claire who is 29was diagnosed with cervical cancer last July. Since then she has had IVF and frozen 7 eggs. She was staged at 1b2 a tumour of about 4cms. She had a radical hystorectomy because a lymph node was positive and has had chemo and radio which has left her with bad diahorrea. She was getting her life back and then they checked a PET scan to find another cancer in her thyroid. In January she had the thyroid removed and is now on thyroxin daily.
Its been terrible to watch her go through all this especially because she lives in Australia and I just can't keep on going to see her.
She is now in double remission so its good news.
I just wondered if there were any other mothers who are in the same situation. Watching there children go through all this and knowing they can't have children. I seem to be surrounded by pregnant women and doting grandmothers and the pain is horrid.
I would love to hear from you

I took B17 apricot kernals after reading pros and cons on the internet, while I was having my radio/chemo, I took 20 per day. At least with these they are not trying to rip you off as a large bag lasting over 3 months was only £12.00.
I wouldn't take other expensive alternatives as I think these are a rip off!!!
When I had my op for bowel cancer they said everything they removed was cancer free.
I have just had another scan which showed 'NED'
I am now on oral chemo for 6 months and wondering whether to take them again, you never know which has worked!!!
Seanty will tell you it is cyanide (I think) poison and doesn't work, this is largely the reason I stopped taking them, however I am wondering whether I should start again on a maitenance dose which is only 7 a day. Surley this can't do any harm and would give me the B17 I am lacking without poisoning my system.
I wouldn't want to encourage any one else to take it incase it does some harm, but for me I was ok.
There is a long thread on topics here, about laterile and B17 which you might want to read which gives a balanced view.
I am sure we will be getting Seanys comments soon!!!
