Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed last Wednesday after a 3rd 12 month smear, I went to my colonscapy & was in for 1hr & the doctor who did it was concerned so took my case to a meeting for discussion. They then booked me in for a mri straight away & told me the biopsy came back with cin1 & cin2 but they were not happy with that result so took it for a second opinion. I then had my mri a week later & then a call to confirm that the re check discussion was cin1 & cin2 then 2 days later I was asked to go in to hospital to see a consultant. He sat myself & partner down & explained that the mri had shown a mass on my cervix suggesting cervical cancer can I go to another hospital for a leez under general to confirm diagnosis. Then got a phone call last Wednesday & consultant told me over the phone & am now waiting for a pet scan to check for spread. I asked on time frame & he said 6 weeks. Am hoping that it's 6 weeks to start treatment & not 6 weeks for pet scan as I have started a new job too & really enjoy it & have that to keep me occupied, but I keep letting my emotions come through a little when on my own. Hoping anyone can just give me advice on wither it's right that it's been 0 -60 & now what feels like a long wait for the main steps.
Thanks in advance 
Hi
Am on week 2 2chemp down & 7 radiotherapy down 
am finding it ok to be honest. I do understand its still early days & should feel more side affects. I am feeling abit tired & a little sickness but all good on the whole. One of my nurses has given me powder drink for of laxatives no thank god ha ha
Sarah I am definitely taking one day at a time & looking at it as one day closer to cure as that was how may doctor put it.
I also think it's so important to stay positive if they have given you a positive outlook. I understand how lucky I am that this is to cure but I also don't think that success stories are talked about enough they are just as important as the awful stories are. As I think people should be made aware of all the success that treatment & tests have on curing cancer. (Hope I don't offend anyone with this bit)
Hope your are all ok

Hi Kaylie
You are right about keeping positive-it helps hugely to have that mindset through treatment. You are right too that we should focus on the positive and all the success stories, of course we should, but I think too we need to be mindful that it’s not the same for everyone. Some groups put me off because they are full of “you’ll beat this” and “you’ve got this” and that wasn’t the case for me, so it can make you feel a little uncomfortable in a situation like mine.
Hope the rest of your treatment goes well and without any issues.
Sarah xx
