Hi and a second welcome to the online community
Having a cancer diagnosis is very scary but you've come to the right place to talk with others who will understand how you feel.
I can see that you joined the cervical cancer group after my friend Mike replied to you a few days ago and I'm sure you'll find it's a great place to ask questions, share experience and get support. If you click on the link I've created it will take you straight there and you could then copy and paste your post from here into a new post there to save you typing it out again.
When you feel ready it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar pathway. 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.
