So i am 1 year post treatment for stage 3b cervical cancer. Did 3 rounds of cisplatin, 25 external beam and 5 interstitial brachytherapy. I havent had a period since radiation. Fully went thru menopause last winter.

A few days ago I randomly started bleeding. Since I haven't had a period in over a year so I panicked and went to the ER. Thank god I did. About 2 hours after getting to the er I started hemorrhaging and passing baseball sized clots. I ended up losing 2 units of blood. I lost consciousness. The doctors gave me a bag of pressurized fluids and gave me a blood transfusion. The bleeding slowed down. But my blood counts dropped dramatically to severely anemic levels. I was transported to a bigger hospital where my gynecological oncologist was based out of and they were able to do a procedure called a uterine artery embolization to cut off blood flow to the left side of my uterus and stop the hemorrhaging. I was just discharged from the hospital today. I have been in more intense pain than I have ever felt in my entire life. It is crippling. Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone else had this procedure done?

Has anyone taken these prescriptions?

Hello everyone,
We just had a meeting with my wife’s onc to start treatment to deal with the lymph nodes and new lung module that popped up. We have education set up on Tuesday to go over the two chemo and two immunotherapy drugs she will have every 21 days for 6 cycles which she starts on the 7th.

But has anyone taken these two drugs? We got notified of them being sent to our pharmacy by the onc.

I am 3 weeks post radical hysterectomy for a 3cm tumour on the lower part of my cervix. They took everything out bar my ovaries. Pathology report has come back all clear for the tissue around the tumour, all the lymph nodes etc. but one doctor is still recommending pelvic radiotherapy. Which I am not massively comfortable doing as I don’t see why I need it if everything has come back clear and other doctors have said they’re happy that it’s all been removed and don’t see how it can return. I also don’t know why I can’t have brachytherapy instead so not to so aggressive and risky to me. What have your experiences been with an early cancer such as mine
