Not the news i wanted

1 minute read time.

hello i am very upset as i write this so excuse me if i dont come out right

 

today i had my meeting with the oncologist she was a really lovely lady up till today i didnt know very much.

I have small cell cancer on my cervix which she said was very rare and the type i have is very aggressive, she said it is normally found in/on lungs.I also have infected lymph nodes which i knew. I am to go for a ct scan on wed coming. They cant tell me anything about prognosis as they do not know how me or the cancer c will react with the treatments. But if it has spread basically it doesnt look good even she was in tears having to tell me. I start my chemo on mon 23rd this month which is etoposide and cisplatin and i will be getting that overnight  and back out the following evening.  How many cycles i dont know as she never said just that once i have completed that i will get radiotherapy then surgery or surgery then radiotherapy. I am so scared right now as i really do not know what to expect can anyone in a similar situation please help me with any advice.

My tumour has grown almost 3 times its size in under 3 weeks.

Thank you for any advice

Love Sarah x x x x x x

    Sarah,

    I am so sorry that the results were not what you wanted, but keep positive babes you dont know how the cancer will respond to the treatment and I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you that it kicks its butt well and truly. Please if you want to pm me then do at any time.

    take care love Terri xxx

    Dear Sarah, I'm so sorry you've had such rotten news. I can't give you any advice because my cc was pretty straight forward. Hopefully some-one else here will be or has been in a similar situation and be able to help you. Also you could talk to a Macmillan nurse on this site about your type of cancer they a very knowlegeable, kind and helpful, I speak from experience. Wishing you strength and my support. Love Linda

    Oh Sarah, I really am sorry its not the best news for you. I truly understand how scared you are and I hope that eases for you as things get going. I found as everything sunk in an I learned more about what was going on I felt more in control and the fear slowly fades. Dont get me wrong its always there but more of a whisper than a scream. I know you can do this and we will all be here for you every step of the way.

    All my love

    I too am sorry that you had to hear this news, hopefully you had someone in with you.

    As others will say, even if we cannot offer advice to your treatment we will all be here to offer support.

    Its what we all need in times of the unknown, so please talk on here or with friends/family rather than bottle it up.
