I was diagnosed with cervical cancer 3 years ago and undergone my treatments. I wish I had knew about these forums before for support. I've been finding it so hard with my anxiety and mental health PrayI needed a full hysterectomy which put me into menopause which I've found almost as hard as dealing with cancer. I don't even recognise my self anymore. The only thing I could be prescribed for menoPrayuse was antidepressants (sertraline) at first being on 50 mg and in a short period having it increased to the maximum dose of 200mg I think has left my mental health, worry and anxiety worse . I donPray really know how to work this forum so came here for some advice and how to work the website. Thank you in advance for any help possibleHeartPray

  • Hi  and welcome to the community. 

    I am one of the Community Champions here in the forum, and been through cervical cancer twice now so I would like to suggest that you join us in the Cervical Cancer group, where many of us will be able to identify with exactly how you feel. I’ll put the link here

    Cervical Cancer Forum

    If you click on this it will take you directly to the group. Once you join the group by clicking on the banner across the bottom of the page you’ll be able to put your post up there and introduce yourself to everyone. Lots of the ladies have been through surgery and the menopause and I’m sure will be able to support you. I’m happy to help too with any assistance you need in getting to grips with the online community.
