Hi every body. I just joined this tribe. It was found in January this year during a regular pap that I have cervical cancer. All the doctor's have moved very quickly on this as I am only at stage 1. Surgery is not an option as it is too radical for the size of my cancer and the doctor has prescribed radiation theraphy which I started yesterday. There will be a back up of a low dose of Chemo also which will start later this week. It's been one hell of a ride, the anger, the fear, the anxiety, the "oh my God" of it all. I am glad I found this group, seems like all of you are very supportive and kind. I hope through all of this I will be able to give back support.

Re: Cervical Cancer
Mon, May 15, 2006 - 8:33 AMThank you for your post, I did go and read the information. There is no doubt about mine having gone through a biopsy then a cone biopsy then a PET scan, MRI, and CAT scan. I have one full week of radiation done, only five more to go. So far I'm feeling OK with it, only I'm very tired. Today I start my first infustion of a low dose of Chemo to enhance the radiation treatment. I am grateful that it was caught early. The emotional roller coaster I've been on seems to have come to a stand still for the time being as once treatment starts, one is being pro active and it takes much of the anxiety away. When people talk of cancer awareness, I think looking at the treatment is part of it, something not many people think about. I don't know, I'm just guessing as I never thought about it much when someone told me they had cancer. I only thought about the growth itself, not what one has to go through on a daily basis to get rid of it. I have to keep looking at the long term and that the next five weeks is only a drop in time in comparision to my whole life. Laura -
