New to this forum, recently diagnosed and getting to grips with the minefield of appointments, the highs and lows which I have no control over and as a control freak this is scarey.

  • Hi  and welcome to our group.

    I’m sorry to read you’ve had a diagnosis of cervical cancer-it’s such a shock to hear those words isn’t it?

    I think we can probably all identify with the loss of control, when everything is out of our hands and we’re thrown into a storm of appointments and information. It is indeed scary!

    I hope you’ll find our group supportive and helpful as you go along. Would you like to share with us what your diagnosis and proposed plan is so we can see how best to support you? We have members who have different types and stages of this cancer- some of us have had surgery, and some of us have had other treatments depending on the stage of our cancer. 

    Have you had scans yet or been given information about your proposed treatment plan? Most of us find that things settle a bit when we know what’s happening and we can focus on the next step.

    If you have any questions please feel free to ask, and you can use the group to share any worries or concerns. I still remember the shock of my own diagnosis, and it definitely took me some time mentally to process that.
