Cancerous Tumour??

[Bella198567]

Hello, wondering has anyone experienced a red congested cervix highly suspicious of malignancy?
Waiting for the biopsy results
Normal Pap smear in feb last year and normal ultrasounds until now!
This has come on suddenly bleeding everyday, my oncologist is certain is 99 percent a cancerous tumour which was never picked up even though I had an internal ultrasound done last month
Has anyone experienced this?

@HP79
Thank you for all of your handy tips you have been such great help!
Yes the ankles they hurt but more the burning sensation especially in one of my legs
I'm taking quiet a bit of HRT
Patch, cream and progrestrone tablet for sleep
Not to mention the weight gain just needs doubling 😬
Hopefully soon to be NED the whole thing still feels like a dream
Scariest experience I've ever lived through
Did you feel like you made lots of changes after your treatment? I have made some major life changes work, friendships
I think it changes your whole outlook.

@Bella198567

Good for you on the positive life changes! I probably should've done the same... but didn't. I think it does change the outlook on life for most people, but I've just gone back to how I was before.

I hear you on the weight gain! I piled on a few stone after my surgery and have failed to shift it. I can't really blame anything other than my pure gluttony and inertia, though!

The burning sensation in your leg... have you spoken to anyone about your risk of lymphoedema? If not, please do urgently check that it's nothing to do with that. It's a condition which benefits from early diagnosis/management. Fingers crossed that it's not lymphoedema, but it's better to check.

Thanks I just made an appointment so will check it out I have done a bit of research I'm hoping it's not that, another thing on my list!
Our bodies go through so many changes after treatment it's like I'm looking at a different person
Strange feeling.
Happy to be alive and be present for my son though.

@Bella198567
How are you getting on? Any news? Hope all is well.

Goodmorning @HP79 Thank you so much for checking in!
I'm feeling good, how are you?
So the pain I was feeling turned out to be mild arthritis in my spine as confirmed by a CT scan

No pain lately which is great the doctors have just told me to take some vitamins and go for walks
I'm assuming this has happened due to the radiation? Hard to tell really....

Arthritis?! Blimey, it never rains, but it pours. At least it seems to be a manageable condition. That's something. I've never heard of radiotherapy causing arthritis but I'm no expert and I'm sure it causes all sorts of problems. As long as you're feeling ok in yourself now and currently pain-free, happy days!

@HP79 Tell me about it one thing after the other!!!
8 weeks until my big pet scan it's getting closer and closer 😬

Just read all your updates! You are doing so well and September is just around the corner!!!

Hey @PonyPals
Thank you! I have been feeling pretty good besides a few aches and pains nothing I can't handle
5 more weeks until my big scan I will definitely keep everyone posted with the results, crossing everything and hoping it will all be ok x

That's lovely to hear. I have all my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks so much @PonyPals
4 weeks to go.. slowly starting to get nervous now I don't think I'll have an ounce of sleep once I'm closer to the date.
So far everything looks positive so just hoping it stays that way 😔

I know it's easy for me to say but try not to think about it. All signs are positive at the moment. Just keep thinking you will be fine

Hi everyone!
So the countdown is on... 7 more days until I go for my 6 monthly pet scan
Anxiety is through the roof at the moment,
Hoping for the best but just want it over and done with even if the news isn't great I just want answers
Will keep you all posted!

@Bella198567

Good luck for this week! Hopefully all will be well. Let us know how you get on. The scanxiety probably won't ever go away, but it probably will diminish over time.

Good luck! Xx

Just reading through your thread OP and sending all the very best of luck for a weeks’ time. You’ve - all of you - been so brave!!!

So I had my PET scan this morning and I forgot how petrifying they are as I'm severely claustrophobic! However I got through it! Now the waiting game. Wednesday couldn't come quick enough wish me luck xx 🤞

@Bella198567

Well done for getting through it. Another milestone done. It's good that you'll be able to get results on Wednesday. Results seem to be much slower here in the UK. Keep us posted. Fingers massively crossed!

everything crossed for good news tomorrow OP, keep us posted. Sending up a prayer for you right now xx

Hey ladies, I am officially NED no signs of cancer anywhere 6 months post treatment
The relief I feel is unbelievable
Thank you so much for all of your support and love!!! ❤

@Bella198567

Wow! Brilliant news! I'm thrilled for you. Now you can just get on with having a fabulous life. X

@HP79 Thank you!!! feel like I have won the lotto.
Still so emotional but seeing the words "complete metabolic response" on paper made my heart sing!
I have check ups every 3 months now hopefully things stay this way! X

Omg congratulations!! I'm so happy for you xxx

@SouperNoodle Thanking you xxx

I posted under a different name earlier. So pleased for you. What a relief. It’s such a wonderful feeling. I cried my eyes out in front of the doctor when I got my all clear.
