Hi everyone m, thought would introduce myself. I’ve been recently diagnosed with cervical cancer stage IVA and due to start chemoradiotherapy 13 July. I’m not doing the interlace chemo as my oncologist didn’t strongly recommend it and basically left the decision up to me and decided I didn’t want to potentially compromise the latter part of the treatment.
I'm a 44yo female, generally quite fit aside from this coming out of left field. Unfortunately I’m a widowed parent to a 10yo boy so this is devastating and quite scary news. I don’t have family locally and not from the UK so no long term friendships here. Very much used to doing everything for myself and facing the likelihood of not being able to do much for myself or my son during the treatment and recovery.
id love any practical tips around freezer meal prep or anything else I haven’t considered? Do people have any idea how realistic it is to drive myself to and from The hospital for treatment at least for the first 2-3 weeks (40 min drive). It’s tricky as I’ll need to juggle holiday clubs for my son, with some leaning on other parents for play dates etc but currently my head can’t figure out how to organise this. Bit of a nightmare I never thought I’d find myself in tbh.
I'm also quite terrified of undergoing cancer treatment and the side effects, esp long term. I really don’t want to do this but feel backed into a corner for the sake of my son. Any tips on moving through this please
