Hi,
I am looking for any advice on my current situation. I have been diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 1 1b from biopsy results. This has been one of the worse times of my life. My mum passed away from kidney cancer(metastasis) just 6 months ago and I watched her suffer before she passed and now receiving this news has completely broke me. I have stupidly never had a smear and I am currently 35 and now feel so much shame and kicking myself. Smear came back high grade severe dyskaryosis. After going for a colposcopy I had the lletz procedure done where they removed a large area for biopsy. They said the area of abnormal cells was large over my cervix and I had to go back to have the rest under general at a later stage. 2 weeks later I was called into a meeting and knew it wasnt good news. They said I have cervical cancer. I cried and broke down. I asked what the staging was and was told it was stage at 1 1b. I have to now wait for an MRI within 2 weeks and discuss results in 2 weeks. They said It would likely be a hysterectomy or radiotherapy for my treatment. I am now so worried and scared as I have had symptoms of constant back ache. Also feeling nausea when I wake up in the mornings. I am scared that these symptoms means the cancer has spread and worried that the MRI will show it has spread. Does anyone have any advice on this and if they tell you its stage 1 1b at biopsy, would this be accurate or would it be different from the MRI results? Please can anyone help
Thanks
Suzanne
Hey Lovely
I hope you have a very speedy recovery from your operation. You must be so relieved to have it over and done with. Take your time and be gentle on yourself while you recover

i was staged as a 2b as it has just started to grow into the fat behind my vagina. No hysterectomy for me. I was a bit gutted about that and it knocked me for 6.
