Hi 

I got diagnosed with 2b cervical cancer 

I have had my pet scan and am awaiting results , the biopsy was nearly 4 weeks ago & I felt the bleeding was starting to ease off this week. Since yesterday it’s got heavier & heavier . I just feel really tired but I’m wondering if it’s because I been over doing it ? 
I really don’t want to sit up a&e but it’s strange how it was getting better & then it’s getting heavier ? 

  • Also I got a period type pain 

  • Hi Louise, sorry to hear you are worried about your bleeding.

    I was experiencing heavy blood loss around the time of my diagnosis and began passing very large clots (size of my palm) i was put on tranxemic acid but before treatment i had one evening where i lost a significant amount of blood and had to be taken by ambulance to A&E and put on a drip. I think my case wasnt typical but if your worried about your bleeding it might be worth contacting 111 to get there advice they can the assess you etc and let your team at the hospital know on Monday if your still worried.

    Shortly after treatment (chemo/radiation) started my bleeding eased up and stopped completely after a few weeks.

    Hoping it eases off a bit for you tonight x

  • Thank you , I need to collect the prescription for tranxemic 

    I may see how tonight goes and maybe tomorrow I’ll do that 

    I don’t know if it’s just because I over done it . Do you mind me asking what drip was you put on & why . X
