My mum had vulvarian cancer 4 yrs ago had a vulvectomy no other treatment all seemed well until about 11 weeks ago she started signs of cervical cancer after 6 weeks are worst fears where confirmed she had stage 3A cervical cancer after lots of optimism by the doctor that the success was great etc etc of getting shut of it ! 5 weeks of radium 5 days a week and chemo once a week for 5 weeks mum suffered every side effect and was really knocked for six :( she has no been told it had spread to the coccyx and pelvic lymph nodes :( she has now been sent home for six weeks to build her strength up for more treatment however it is no longer curable they are just going to try and contain it ! We all feel under informed they told mum they'd send her an appointment out in 5 weeks to return to clinic ?We have no idea of what is actually happening ? Can anybody help please ?

Morning Emylou, To help you navigate the Maccy site it wold be better if you joined the vulva cancer forum and posted all this message there. It's where they hang out rather than here reading blogs.
Once you do that I'm sure you will get replies from those lovely ladies going through the same treatment. You can find that group here -
There is also a cervical cancer forum, if you feel that would be more suitable, that one can be found here - http://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_types/cervical-cancer/default.aspx
I am sorry Emylou , have just been diagnosed with Vin 3 and I am 43, just had signs of itching and a few lumps , and now had multiple biopsies, just awaiting outcome , can only keep upbeat!!!! I hope your MUM is ok I am sure she will be tops x
