Just diagnosed

Hi Kimberley8 

I’m sorry you’ve had your diagnosis confirmed, but hopefully it is early stage for you. I had adenocarcima stage 2b so as it was a higher stage a hysterectomy wasn’t possible, and it usually is for an early stage cancer.

So I’ll leave the other ladies to share their experiences of treatment for early stage cancer, and hope you’ll get some helpful replies.

I should just add that I’m aware of the extreme anxiety you have told us about, and fears of dying before you’re 30, and I’m very conscious that I had a lot of treatment and major surgery which would not be the case for you, so I’m mindful of not wanting to upset you further.

The most likely treatment for an early stage cancer is a hysterectomy of some type, which may or may not require further treatment, but you need to have all your results for the doctors to make a final decision on your next steps.

Other ladies can share their experiences, but remember that things are individual to you and unique for you, so ultimately your experience may not be the same.

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it xxx

Hi Kimberley it sounds like you are hopefully very early stages, I was stage 3c and my tumour was 3.7cm big, 4mm is tiny so I hope it will not be lots of treatment for you and success rates are so high in early stages. Even with my advanced tumour I have had total remission and the tumour was gone after 4 weeks of radiotherapy and chemo and I still had another 3 weeks of treatment to go. I believe you will be just fine, stay positive and let us know how you get on but honestly don’t worry to much as you will beat it x x 

Aw thank you so much for your kind words.  I'm so glad your treatment worked for you. It was just being diagnosed at 27 you never think it's going to happen to you. It was only August last year that I had to have a pacemaker also so I have ptsd from that let alone a year later finding out i have cancer. My first thought was my 7 year old isn't going to grow up with his mum. But yes it was a relief to know it was early xxx
