  • Hi  and welcome to our group.

    I’m sorry to read you’ve got a suspected diagnosis of cervical cancer-this will be a very difficult time for you.

    I’m not recently diagnosed myself (I was diagnosed originally in 2018) but there have been a couple of ladies posting very recently who have just had a cancer diagnosis. Hopefully you’ll hear from them soon.

    It’s a very anxious time for you at the moment, but hopefully it won’t be long until you have your pet scan. The results from this, along with the biopsy and mri results, will be discussed at an MDT meeting (multi disciplinary team meeting) where the medical staff discuss the best plan for your treatment.

    Have you got anything to take for your current pain? Over the counter medication may be enough  but if you’re struggling, your gp should be able to help with something stronger if needed.

    If you can let us know when you have your results, we’ll be able to help more based on our own experiences. In the group, ladies have had a variety of treatments based on the staging of their cancer, so there will always be someone to help support you through.
