Hi Kib1411 welcoem to the forum and so sorry to hear about whats happening for you right now.

The first thing you need to do is stop blaming yourself you made a choice at the time that felt right for you and some would argue that point however there is no point beating yourself up maybe this wasn't there then so who knows. But hey you have faced those fears head on and gone for the smear and it has come back with some irregularities.

Have they given you any idea yet what the treatment plan may be for you because until you get that it is difficult to be sure of the other worries that you have but do write down these questions and take them with you when you go for your next appointment and ask them anything that is of concern to you.

Let go of the guilt its not gona do anything except pull you down and look forward and take each day as it comes and deal with it like that. The past is called the past for a reason it has happened and cant be changed so no more guilt or beating yourself up.

Sending some huge big hugs your way meantime. xxx    

Hi kib,

have they told you your stage, grade and treatment plan yet? There are fertility sparing options available for some circumstances, make sure you let your team know that you would like a family.

lots of love

Hello ladies, 

Sorry for for the late reply I hope you see this! It has been a flurry of appointments since I write this. 

Yes I have Stage 2b so I will require 5 weeks of radiotherapy with 5 sessions of chemo follows up by 3 sessions of brachytherapy. I have also have ovary transportation surgery but will have to retrieve eggs for freezing. I have been told pregnancy after treatment will not be an option so will have to go through surrogacy. 

Thank you 

Kirsty

Hi Kirsty,

it sounds like you have had a lot of information thrown at you lately but also that you have a sound treatment plan and fertility sparing treatment lined up, so hopefully that's making it all a bit easier for you. 

Try and take it all one step at a time and concentrate on the next step in front of you. This group is a bit quiet but the womb group has lots of tips for chemo, radiotherapy and brachytherapy, the women there are really friendly and usually happy to share their experiences and tips. Jos trust might be a useful source for information too. 

 Lots of love
