Chemo (Carbo Taxol)

Aww anxious sending you a big hug am not sure if am getting chemo will no this wed got first appointment at cancer centre I know getting brachytherapy but my hospital consultant mentioned chemo I have been haveing real anxiety since then all I think about to b told cancer free but need this cruel can I ask what stage and grade you were take care of yourself thinking of you xx

Hi Robbo, I’m type 1B, Stage 3.   Had hysterectomy on 15th December.  I was expecting radiotherapy external and internal after op and was so shocked when she said I was cancer free but need 4 rounds of chemo followed by 25 sessions of radiotherapy and 2 or 3 brachytherapy.   Have done lots of research but have low points and haven’t even started yet.   

Jeezo anxious I was 1a stage 3 it's awful that when there is no evidence of cancer left I will no on wed if am the same we will do this together I had full hysterectomy on the 12 th December the thought of chemo sends me on a tailspin surely would b kept in armoury for if it ever came back x

Chemo is the recommendation and it’s better to prevent (hopefully prevent) a recurrence.  That’s what I’m thinking about.  Very hard to get my head around it.  I want to work all the way through as well and that will help I think  

Hi. I am having my appt a week tomorrow to discuss my further treatment. I had my hysterectomy on 19 December. I am Stage 1A Grade 3. I was told after my op that they thought they'd got it caught it early , but I have since been told by Macmillan nurse that they are suggesting that I have chemo and brachytherapy as I'm high grade. I too am feeling anxious and a bit fed up, being at home and not able to really carry on with 'normal' life isn't helping.  I've read up a bit about chemo and it seems to affect everyone differently, there are a lot of side effects on the lists!!  

Hiya it's a cruel cruel mentally as well as physically the side effects look brutal will keep use posted think we on same point in this god awful journey xx
