Now the wait...

Hi Sweetcherry, Welcome to the online community, but I am so sorry to hear about your diagnoses. It is only natural to be worrying about the cancer spreading, we all worry over every little pain we have. Although your treatment has finished, the radiotherapy will continue working for a few more weeks yet, which is why they leave it for 3 months before they scan you, to give the treatment time so they get a proper picture of what is going on. 

Many congratulations on the birth of your son, but that must of been such a shock finding out about the cancer so soon after. You have been through so much in such a short time. Your body will still be adjusting from having the baby, so it is hard to tell if some of the breast pain might be because of that.  Anything you are not sure about, please check with your GP or oncology team, to put your mind at rest if nothing else. 

Take care x 

Thank you so much for responding. I’m a natural worrier too but am determined to fight this . 
I will give my treatment team a phone call on Monday - I’m hoping they can give me some answers. 
yeah it’s hard to know if it’s my body adjusting but they were also tacking lymph nodes higher in my stomach too which were picked up on the PET scan. 
I seem to be having more side effects now the treatment is over! But I’ve read that can be common too.

Yes the side effects will continue for a few weeks, especially as the radiotherapy is still doing its work. I am not surprised you are uncomfortable if they have removed lymph nodes high up in the stomach. And it is not like you can rest with a new born either. I am sure he is keeping you very busy. 

It won't hurt to give your team a call. That is what they are there for, and they won't mind in the least. x 

Hi I’m new to the group but I too have just finished radiotherapy, brachytherapy and chemotherapy for stage 3c cervical cancer. I got diagnosed while going in to be induced with my now 8 month old daughter. I have my 3 month scan on tues then the wait for the results. I’m exactly like u overthinking every pain anywhere I’m dreading the scan I’m so worried. Fingers crossed for you with yours xxx

• I’m crossing everything for you, sounds pretty similar to my experience - I feel it really has hit hard with being a new mum too. I really wish you the best with your scan - mine should be in July. I’m hoping they will let me know when . Xxz

Hi lovely… so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, I’m in exactly the same position except my little one is nearly 8 months it’s so hard and would be good to talk… lots of love xxx

My little one is 7 months now, it would be good to talk. I have my scan second week of July to see if treatment has worked. Have you just been diagnosed?

Hi Sweetcherry,

How are you getting on now? I've been diagnosed with stage 2b and start my treatment on 3 August.

Hi there, 

had a scan early July and uptake has been mostly successful- no distant disease and tumour has shrunk lots. Saying that since then I’ve been getting pain down there and so so much discharge that I thought was urine leakage. 
I had that checked my a gynaecologist last week and she said discharge was coming from vagina and looked pretty normal but couldn’t be sure about about the pain. My oncologist thinks it could be due to the inflammation because of radiotherapy. I’m hoping it is and not anything worse or spreading. It’s just not knowing what to expect. She won’t bring the PET scan forward mind .  Sorry for the rant- all over the place and just want to get through this for my little boy. 
How are you getting on with your treatment? 
I remember the chemo knocking me for six at the weekends but seemed to be back to normal On the  Monday xx

How are you doing Riss??
