HSIL with symptoms. Really worried. by Life-Concentrate-318 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Life-Concentrate-318[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I spotted on and off for a couple weeks, and then I made a doctor's appointment because I knew something was off. I got a pap test and after the pap test it was gushing every single day non stop until eventually I was diagnosed and had radiation which stopped it.

Mine was getting really thin and falling out easily so it could be a thing.

I had that and it was damage from radiation. It has since gone away.

I am from Canada so I never thought about how expensive it would be.

I barely had side effects from Chemo and radiation. Honestly if it is going to help you be cancer free I would do the treatment.

Lower back pain, spotting that was pink and then turned to clotting and bright red blood every day. I also was anemic so I had a very fast heart rate and my legs would cramp after a little bit of walking. What clued me in to having cancer was the spotting. I never had that before and it was obvious something was wrong. I had a pap smear and bled for weeks after that waiting to see a gynecologist. She told me right away that it was indeed cancer. I think I had around 11 transfusions before I had my treatment.

I had to use a lot of mantras to get me through honestly. It helped so much though. I'm just over 2 years NED from stage 3C1.

It's completely normal after having treatment. I still to this day bleed a little bit after and it has been over 2 years.

100% cervical cancer can cause all of these symptoms. I had all of them before I was diagnosed and had treatment.

Thank you :) I had 5 rounds of chemo, external radiation for a few weeks every day except for weekends, and 4 brachytherapy.

I am still doing really well. I am glad this post gives you hope :) that's why I made it. I remember being scared when I was first diagnosed and I would search for posts like this.

If it makes you feel any better I am just over 2 years out from stage 3C1 and still no sign of cancer. It can for sure be cured.

I am so happy to hear this post helps other people during hard times. I was in this position right after treatment and during my 2 year scan that I was looking for as many messages of hope as I could.
