Cervical cancer that has metastased

Hi Jen, I’m sorry to hear your diagnosis hasn’t gone the way you wanted or expected. Can I ask how you found out it had spread? Did you have symptoms or did you have follow up scans as routine? 

I was also stage 2b, never had any symptoms to start with and I’m now terrified of it returning without me knowing x 

Hi Suzie,

I was having regular scans. My last mri made the docs question my cervix so they sent me for a Pet scan to have a better look and that was when she saw the spread. 

No I haven't had any symptoms that I know off, I have asthma and have had 2 kids so they can't be sure I'd have recognised the symptoms anyway.

Even if it makes you sound like a hypochondriac get everything checked if you're worried. I was terrified as well but tried to get on with life in the hope that it didn't spread.. 

They say this is unusual anyway as the original tumour is gone and the treatment did what it was supposed to in that area. Just unfortunately for me some cells sneaked away and made home elsewhere. 

Best wishes, keep your chin up and enjoy each day. Xxx

Thank you so much for your reply, I’m so sorry that yours isn’t better news. 

I hope that you are feeling well, and that your current treatment plan is working xx
