Radical hysterectomy due to cervical cancer – Amanda’s story

Hi well what a whirlwind it’s been. I’m 44, married and busy mum of 3. Had my first abnormal smear in July which resulted in a LLETZ procedure in early August. 4 weeks later when I thought things must be ok I was called to see the consultant and was diagnosed with cervical cancer on 4th September. CT, MRI and several appointments later I was booked in for radical hysterectomy, removal of both ovaries and lymph node dissection on 21st September.

My Radical Hysterectomy Badge of Courage! – Chelle’s Story

Hiya, I had a radical hysterectomy 11 weeks ago this Saturday. I had extreme endometriosis, the pain had took over my life, I also have MS so I had to do it, although it is the total opposite of what I wanted. I am 43 without children, I had Clamidya as a young woman and didn’t know and it fused up my fallopian tubes which couldn’t be repaired as they were also fused also to my womb.

Suggested MRI which I had following day, then CT scan the following week.

This is where my head spinning journey started.
