Hi Booboo56.  So sorry I have only just seen this.  I am also a Stage 3, mine was stage 3c1 and I am 18 months out of treatment.  The treatment is very do-able and I found the best thing for me whilst waiting for treatment to start was to do what I could do to look after me and get me ready for the treatment - stuff such as drinking plenty of water, exercising more and diet improvements.  As Sarah has said you will feel so much better when you have a plan in place.  Good luck and please ask about anything  you are not sure of.

Hi Booboo56,

As Sarah mentioned I also had a diagnosis of 3C1, I had surgery because I'm in Italy and the procedure here seems slightly different to the UK, I then had chemoradiotherapy. 

Looking back it was ok, although at the time I was in turmoil and found it extremely hard to deal with both emotionally and physically. One thing is sure, time just keeps moving on and all you can do is flow with it.

I found being organised and following instructions to the letter kept me on track. Also reading articles and watching films that had nothing to do with cancer as I found I was getting obsessed studying up on cervical cancer.

It's great that you have a large family and a supportive partner, that will help you get through it and keep you busy at the same time.

All the best and please keep in touch,

You aren't alone,

Lulabell
