Hello everyone
I'm not sure what to say ect. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer back in September, things have been complex as scans showed further complications so I'm unable to undergo the radical hysterectomy originally planned and need to have chemoradiotherapy before any surgery can take place. I'm a single parent to 3 amazing young women who are absolutely my rock, I kinda feel guilty for all they are going through and I'm finding things difficult to get my head around. I thought I'd post as I know there is many in the same situation as myself and to have some support and offer support to others, even though we're all scared and anxious. I'm not sure what to expect going forward, I suppose no one really knows. Is anyone starting this battle too, or any words of advice id truly appreciate it.
Thanks for reading! TC tee

It should hopefully be the last scan to complete the diagnostic process at least! There is a planning CT scan before radiotherapy which doesn’t take long-just to plan where exactly to target the radiation. You do tend to get used to scans, but I’ve never got used to the anxiety they cause in the run up and then waiting for results. I’ve had quite a few over the years!
