Very New , hello everyone ♡

Hi Coffeebeangal86 and welcome to our group.

I’m not sure from your post if you’ve had any kind of diagnosis, and are you in the UK? Cancerous cells for more than 10 years would definitely not be left untreated in the UK. Do you have a diagnosis of cervical cancer? 

We can certainly try and help support you in the group, but that might be difficult if you have cancer which has not been treated at all? Maybe you mean pre cancerous cells? Perhaps with a little bit more information we might be able to help you further.

Hi Coffeebeangal86

You will find this forum very helpful and supportive. There is a lot of sensible advice based on ladies experiences of various stages of cervical cancer and treatments.

Are you in UK? 

Are you willing to share any more general information about your diagnosis and treatments and whether you are under hospital care. This, would help other people support you with their experiences. 

I am not sure from your post whether you have had a cancer diagnosis, or been told you have pre cancerous cell abnormalities which need removing. 

You say you  decided  not to have  the abnormal cells removed despite medical advice to do so.Is this correct. 

Have you self diagnosed the lymph node lump or is it a hospital  Dr diagnosis.?

There is plenty of support on this forum but people mainly talk of their diagnosis and hospital treatments. 

Are you wishing to proceed with hospital treatment, I am not clear from your post what your plan is. 

You may wish to speak to a Mcmillan nurse. 

Hope you find the support you looking for.

No I'm in USA, & I have cancerous cells, that's spread. It's been untreated for quite some time now. Too scared at this point & time. Xx

Have you had a cancer diagnosis? Or do you have abnormal cervical cells which are pre cancerous?

Hugs to you too coffeebeangal86

I have read your other post and am really sorry to hear how poorly you feel at the moment and how much pain you are in, i can only imagine how frightened you feel and i am really glad that you have support from your fiance and those few close friends.

It sounds as if you have been told that you have cancer, but for whatever reason, potentially fear, you have not recently engaged in any medical support regarding this. 

It sounds as if you have recently found a lump in one of your lymph nodes and you believe that this could be evidence that the cancer has spread from the cervix.

Sadly none of us here on these forums are medically trained, and we are not best placed to offer advice on pain relief or how best to respond to the pain you have been experiencing but lots of us have had a cervical cancer diagnosis and have been successfully treated for this. It is likely lots of us had been living with cervical cancer for variable periods of time without knowing but found are way to a health professional whether due to symptoms or something being picked up in screening etc - either way we are all likely to share a view that regardless of how scary it all felt at the time, accessing medical help meant that we knew what was happening to us, to our bodies and had choices regarding treatment and support.

I can see that for some a coping strategy when faced with something really scary could be denial or avoidance but in light of the pain you are in i would urge you to let a medical professional know about your current symptoms, the pain you are experiencing and your worries about the lump you found. This would be my advice, take that first step, go back to your DR or a health professional. Its not okay that you are in pain, you deserve to be helped, and there will be medical help out there for you.

Its never to late coffeebeangal86, and you deserve to feel better

Big hugs
