Hi all was recently told after a colposcopy on the 28th of Nov that I had probable cancer and that she was concerned about two parts of my cervix this was confirmed yesterday from my biopsy results that cancer was the case. My emotions are all over the place as I’m sure you can all relate to. I have four children and the fear of them seeing me go through this or the worst case scenario it’s spread is really affecting me. I’m trying to remain positive and have had a few friends who have gone through the same and come out at the other end but they had very little symptoms I’m working myself into a frenzy that mine might of spread because of all my symptoms and I’ve had them a while but was palmed off with you have IBS. Any support or advice would be very much appreciated .
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you've just been diagnosed with cervical cancer and although I had a different type of cancer I do understand how worried you will be at the moment. We all worry that it will have spread but the best thing to do is to just concentrate on one step at a time.
I don't know what the normal procedures are once cervical cancer has been diagnosed so I've found this information for you on what further tests you might have and also what your treatment you might be offered.
You may also need help on organising your finances or work and this advice and guidance from Macmillan is a good starting point. You can also speak to the work support team (Monday - Friday 8am - 8pm) and the welfare rights and financial guidance teams (Monday - Friday 8am - pm) by calling the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 0000.
Wishing you all the best

So a little update I start radiotherapy tomorrow alongside chemo for five weeks then 3 sessions of bracytherapy . My consultant is confident the treatment will work 
My pet scan showed what they suspected in regards to my lymph nodes in my pelvis but she said with intense radiotherapy she is confident and aim is to cure. Did anyone else have this and if so how 
id you respond to treatment ? I am anxious but I’m sure this is a normal feeling I am just ready to get treatment started and beat this ️
I was staged at 3c and have a 5cm Tumour on the neck of my womb. I know people say not to focus on staging but having children this is difficult not to. I have every confidence in my consultant as I
m sure they Woukd not fill you with false hope. I would also like to say the staff and everyone involved in my care have been amazing and they deserve so much more just wish I had the money to contrbute to the care and time they provide ️
Hi
That's good news that your consultant is confident that the treatment she proposes will cure you 
It would probably be a good idea to start a new thread asking about how others responded as your question might be more easily seen than as part of this post.
All the best with your treatment
