More treatment

Hi All,

 

had ad my trachelectomy on August 13th and have healder really well. I saw the consultant yesterday and it hasn't spread into my lymph nodes as far as they can tell. However the type of cancer was much more aggressive than they first thought therefore I require further treatment. I have been advised that this would either be radiotherapy and chemotherapy or a full hysterectomy.  I don't have children so I am initially thinking that a full hysterectomy is my best bet as at least that would leave me with my ovaries, from which I could harvest eggs in the future. 

As I understand it, this extra treatment is all about reducing the chances of the cancer returning, but I am left with almost impossible choices to make. More surgery which is going to leave me in a pickle, or pumping my body full of bloody awful chemicals.
