Hi,

I joinned this group yesterday after going to the hospital and being told i have a 5cm growth on my cervix that they believe to be cancer. I went to the doctors in March after irregular bleeding but an examination and smear came back fine, and internal ultrasound in August came back healthy and normal. They took samples and i should get confirmation and MRI scan date.

i am so angry and shocked that it has been missed in the past. Ive had to tell my work, fiancé and immediate family, which was soul destroying. Now im playing the waiting game and i feel sick in my own skin. Looking up treatment options i dont think i can overcome cancer and still be fertile. I am 28years old and planning to get married in Sept 2016 then try for kids. If it was upto my fiancé we would have tried already. I am fairly strong minded, they can do what they need to and il take whatever treatment they throw at me, but the thought of not being able to have a child is so upsetting.

i am trying to stay out of my head until i know exactly what is going on and what is going to happen to overcome this, but all i keep thinking is the prospect of having fertility issues.

Would people mind sharing their cervical cancer journeys and experiences (good and bad) so i know what to expect? I will keep blogging as my journey unravels

Hello Mazzy How lucky you father is to have such loving and supportive children to look after him! It's a wonderful thing that you are doing and I greatly admire both you and your brothers for so willingly taking on such a punishing schedule. You may not be able to stop your beloved father slipping away, but your presence and your love, and all the little things you do for him to make him more comfortable, ease his passage. With love, dyad

Hi tara

I was 26 when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer after going through 11 months of treatment im finally able to say its over one of the hardest parts for me was the hearing it could affect fertility even though up to this point I had zero plans for children :/ .

All my test have come back positive up to this point obviously it takes a while for results stay as positive as you can :)

Dreamthief-Thank you so much for sharing that link, i really appreciate it. I will take a look after my reply. My gynecologist saw it within seconds of looking, said 'ohhhh.......excuse me for just a moment' and left me for minutes with the duck lips in me! Bought back another specialist who agreed and then they told me they strongly believe its cancer. When i asked what alternative could it be he said everything else is extremely doubtful, and that was that. my family members have said it could be something else, such as polyps, but you dont expect to doubt two doctors so il expect the worse and hope for the best. Then again, all my previous tests have been clear so they have been wrong before.

hi Trish. Do you mind me asking what treatment you had and did you have surgery? Thanks for sharing your experience with me
