Hi
2 days ago my world fell apart. I was told I have cervical cancer. I don’t know right now what stage I am (we think early though). Had MRI last night and that was scary and trying not to think of why I was in there was so hard. Waiting for a CT scan appointment at moment and then next week hopefully get to know what’s next.
im still in shock and wondering why me? What have I done to get this?
i worrying about everyone around me more than myself. I’m a mum of 2 birth children (22 & 18) and 3 step children (23,18,18) and a partner who I’ve only just got back with due to the beginning of my journey and him knowing something was wrong with me. He has been though my past nightmares and been my rock and I’m so grateful for him holding my hand. I’m worried about him and our children with all this. They all seem ok with it and just want me to be ok and to stop worrying about them but that’s me. I’m a professional carer and so care too much for everyone and am known not to look after myself or let others help me but guess now I need to stop and let others treat me like I do my lovely clients.
im worried about work and how they will be as I don’t feel very supported by them normally. But guess my future is in my control as much as I can be.
Hi Peace73 and a very warm welcome to the online community
Everyone here will recognise that feeling of your world falling apart but you've come to the right place now.
As the community is divided up into different support groups I going to recommend that you join the cervical cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far in your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
