Just spoken to specialist , says I have cancer and it’s confined to cervix . Says its stage 1 but have meeting at 1.30 pm X shaking like a leaf , my husband and daughters are in tears , help ! Words of wisdom please x
I'm not sure how wise I am, but I do know that what you're going through just now is the worst part. The finding out, trying to get your head round it, waiting for more tests then waiting for answers. My mum has had both cervical and breast cancer so when I told her about my diagnosis the main thing she did was reassure me that I'd feel better once a plan was in place. She was absolutley right.
When I was first told, I kept saying out loud "I've got cancer" because it was such a difficult thing to say. Now I joke about it. I say to my kids "you have to be nice to me, I've got cancer" or "make me a cuppa please, remember I've got cancer" haha. And it doesnt' feel too bad at all.
It's okay to be scared, but it sounds as if they have caught this at the early stages which means it's very treatable. Keep positive and feel free to come on here to sound off or seek advice.
HI,

Take care xxx

Hi
the waiting sucks!!! So many emotions flood your system. It's so socking to hear those words. Things are very different then what people assume. Trust me it gets easier to deal with once everything is sorted out. Try to stay as calm as possible and stay away from Google!!!

Im recently diagnosed too. I have been a mess unfortunately :( This forum has been my sanity. Even though I really have not said much, I have been stalking it constantly. It has given me so much hope. Stay on this forum, avoid google. This is the best place to be.
Hello :-)
Welcome to the forum :-) Sorry to hear of your diagnosis but very pleased you have found us here. Definitely the very best place for you on the internet right now. As others have said STAY AWAY FROM GOOGLE. Lovely advice from Girlwiththemostcake too :-)
Warning; Bit of a ramble - When we were in the process of buying some land in Greece I had a phone call from the estate agent. She said 'There is a problem, no, not a problem as such, it is so small a problem that you couldn't really call it a problem at all' And I like to think of cervical cancer in a similar way. Yes it is cancer and yes we are all brought up to fear this word. BUT, It is so very cureable 'you could hardly really call it cancer at all' :-)
As cancers go, it's a bit of a pussy :-)
Be lucky :-)
