Good morning I was diagnosed on Wednesday with cervical cancer and to say I'm petrified is an understatement. I was diagnosed after a lletz treatment, the doctor was surprised by the results as she couldn't see any sign of it during the procedure so they think it's slightly higher up in the cervix. From the lletz I've been told it's 1b1 I know this may change once I've had the CT and MRI but I'm just wondering if this is generally a pretty accurate way to diagnose the stage your at. Many thanks
yes but i have had to wait longer than you so i guess it depends on area x hope the replies on here have helped you calm down a little, its a big shock so give yourself some grace x

Just to add-I had some very bad days early on where I felt very scared and anxious to the point of derealisation where life felt surreal, its a big shock so go easy on yourself x i still havent processed it but not as bad as at the beginning of it sll x
