I was referred to gynaecology because I had intermittent heavy bleeding.
They thought it may be my coil that is displaced so he wanted to have a look and try to remove.
unfortunately as soon as the clamp was inserted I bled out badly. He then noticed a lesion of about 5cm on my Cervix.
He straight away organised for me to have a biopsy that day. I had to stay in over night until bleeding was under control. I’m home now and awaiting my appointment for MRI and my Results from Biopsy.
I’m so worried as I’m a single mum of 2 teenagers and last year we went through a horrific trauma so we are so close the 3 of us. It is worrying me so much.
my kids compete on horses and depend on me so much I just hope we can keep doing what we love.
Has anyone else had similar or can prepare me for what may happen next.
This is going to be a long two weeks.
thankyou xxx
Morning Sarah I actually slept ok. Up early to put horses out and get kids organised for school. My mum is coming with me today. Thank you so much for your support xxx
I’m glad your mum will be with you Victoria, and that you’ve had some sleep. It’s useful to have someone with you as another pair of ears in case we don’t take in all we’re being told. At least it’s in the morning so you don’t have all day to stress about it. We’ll be here for you whenever you’re ready to come back and let us know how you get on.

Hi Sarah
not good news.
stage3c in cervix and lymph nodes.
feeling she’ll shocked. Xx
I am so sorry you have this diagnosis Victoria. I have thought about you today. It will take some time to get your head around it.
I would think the next steps will be for you to understand what your treatment plan will be but one step at a time as I said I understand it will take time for the diagnosis to sink in and to understand what it means for you and your family.
We are all here to support you Victoria. Take care xxxx
Hi queenvic41 I was thr same totally in shock told I was 2b then after pet scan told I was 3c1..it had gone in 2 lynodes near my cervix...I couldn't get my head round it had all my treatment now..so just the waiting game now..you will get ya round it when you start treatment xx
Oh Victoria
I’m so sorry about your diagnosis. You’ll need time to process this and come to terms with things as it’s such a lot to take in at the start.
But one day at a time, one foot in front of the other, and some of the ladies have just gone through treatment for your stage, so I’m sure will have lots of advice and support for you, as we all will have as you go through this.
You’ve been blindsided today, and your world has been shaken, but things will become clearer once you’re past the shock and come to terms with it. Honestly.
Really feel for you-look after yourself and take care.
Sarah xx
Queenvic41 hope you are feeling ok I've been thinking about you...I was the same I totally freaked out couldn't take it in but its curable treatment..so please keep that in you're mind xxxx
Hi QueenVic. I'm so sorry that you have this diagnosis. I finished treatment for 3C1 nearly three weeks ago and I promise that when you get your treatment plan you will feel so much calmer. It is all do-able and if there's anything you want to ask there are many lovely ladies on here who will help, myself included. Good luck and stay strong xxx
Thank you so much ladies. I feel ok I’m going to fight this with everything I have. They are going to try and get my coil out on Tuesday. This is worrying me as I bleed out so much. But it has to come out. Just not good it’s dislodged and It’s not a straightforward removal.
then Thursday I am seeing my treatment consultant as they apparently going to hit me hard with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. They said it’s likely I will loose hair and it’s going to be a tough ride.
but I can do this. My kids and family are being amazing so that helps.
Thankyou ladies talking to you really does help. Xx
