At age 40 i had a total abdominal hysterectomy due to early diagnosed cervical cancer. I had recently remarried and was trying to have a baby. My doctor told me it was more important for me to be here for the children i already had with my 1st husband. So i chose the surgery and did not need chemo or radiation. If i had chose not to have the TAH i would have needed chemo and radiation. I also had to have CT scans every year for 5 years following my surgery. Now 20 yrs later im still here and cancer free

I had cervical cancer, but it wasnt found ùntil i had a 5-yr follow up colonoscopy, as i had polyps with my last colonoscopy. They found a tumor in my rectum that had originated in my vagina. It was stagwd as T4-a. That means there was local lymph node involvement. I had 4 weeks (5 days per week) with 4 weeks of chemo(1 time a week). I then went through brachytherapy. I had to have a colostomy due to the fear of a fistula forming between my vagina and rectum. Fortunately, the colostomy was reversed, as no fistula formed. The brachytherapy was successful, and now I'm cancer free. Its been 3 yrs. I suspect it was because i had HPV when i was younger. I was never afraid i would die. God is good!

I was 24 when diagnosed with cervical cancer(50 now). Cryogenic procedure was unsucessful so I had laser surgery which got rid of it completely and has never returned. Chemo,radiation, or hysterectomy had never been brought up by my doctor. I feel very lucky. I pray for this woman and all that have had a more extensive process in order to take care of the cancer.💓

Cervical cancer, when caught early and before it becomes invasive, is completely curable with surgery alone. Once it has spread to the lymph nodes or other organs, chemo and radiation are necessary.

However in 2022, I was diagnosed with chemo induced AML leukemia i spent from November 2022 until July 2023 in the hospital. I received a bone marrow transplant on June 14th (my new birthday). Im still in the recovery phase but one thing I know and sure of is prayer works.

I'm very glad to know that you're doing well. As English is not your first language, I feel that I need to let you know that it's a "rare" cancer, not "rear". Rear means behind, as in "Please go to the rear of the line." Rear has several meanings, but back, or behind, or end, is thecmain definition. Rare means unique, or uncommon. (It also means lightly-cooked meat).

It is an A symptomatic disease so as you know “it isn’t visible “.

She can't get proper pain relief because of the harsh controls around opiates so her days are not happy, ever. We have no services so we do what we can to nurse her..we is me,72, and her brother who has serious mental health issues. Our days are full of pain, tears, frustration, fear..no smiles here. Doctors have dismissed, ignored, lied, threatened and terrorised my daughter to the point she is refusing hospital and has been labelled non compliant, despite having all invasive, painful tests requested and done everything except travel as she is in too much pain.She is a single mother, trying to parent from her bed.

I have endometriosis, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts, had a laparoscopic diagnosis of the uterus to try to help the pain the endometriosis was causing to no avail, and nothing. For 5 years after all that, nothing. So I’m now in my early 30s, and I’ve felt those bumps she spoke about in the beginning. Had them checked out, they said they were benign. I need to get a second opinion with this new insurance, cuz I fear it may be closer than I realize. I’ll take seeing this video on my feed as a sign to keep on top of my health, especially that warning of cervical cancer.

Great! All should get it and at a young age. In my family we lost a male to HPV throat cancer, had a HPV cervical cancer step sister and me, HPV vulvar cancer. The surgery ruined my life. Don’t let your kids go through one of these when there is a vaccine out there

@triciaschumaker6407 2 ай бұрын

There are over 300 variants of HPV and the vaccines only cover around 10 of the most common ones. Getting the vaccine isn’t bad, (I recommend it) , but don’t rely on it for protection against ALL HPV variants. You can also have HPV clear on its own ( your immune system does that) only to have it come back at a time your immune system is weakened like during pregnancy, illness, stress, older age, corticosteroid use, or immunosuppressants. We (I’m a Cytologist, the lab scientist who screens Pap tests and biopsies for cancer and diseases) have also noticed an increase in HPV negative cervical carcinomas ( cancer). We think it has to do with mutations resulting in lower HPV viral particles in the cells below what the HPV test can detect. HPV is tested on an analyzer and lets you know if you HAVE the virus. The Pap test is a microscopic slide manually screened by a Cytologist who looks for the changes in cells that are precancerous or cancerous. We have seen an increase in cervical cancer since they have changed the Pap smear screening interval from annually to every 3 or 5 years.

I had stage 1 cc in 2016. I got the same treatment as you but never lost my hair. Dr told me I wouldnt. I couldnt have internal radiation due to too much scar tissue so I had a total hysterectomy. I also only got chemo thru an IV. I am an extremely hard poke but they never offered me a pic line.

In my home country doctors recommend you do the papa smears very year. So, for me it is weird that in USA they recommend it every 3 years.

It use to be yearly. Most insurance covers it annually and all sexually active women should.
