Cervical Cancer Support Group
Cervical cancer is a malignancy of the cervix. Worldwide, it is the second most common cancer of women. It may present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in advanced stages, which has made cervical cancer the focus of intense screening efforts utilizing the Pap smear. This is the place to talk about your experience with the cancer.
Have been having problems all of my life with my health... Last year found out I had cervical problems... had a coloscopy and leep done... and havent been back since... But have an apt march 11th to get that re-examined... found out today after my biopsy that i have Follicular cancer and a specialist is going to call me within tha next week to hopefully schedule me in to either get half of my thyroid removed or all of it..... I am VERY scared... I struggle with anxiety for 3 1/2 years now... and it is just now getting worse :( the unknown is tha scariest thing ever....... Anyone had surgery and had theyre thyroid taken out, or parts of it please let me know how you are doing and what you went thru..... I am very very Very scared... I have a great loving boyfriend & family & friends... and a 3 1/2 year old and 7 1/2 year old to take care of....... I need to be healthy but nothing seems to work and I just keep going more and more down hill... Any advice on keeping my strength up, being positive, and trying not to think about it would be helpful...... I hope I am not alone in this battle, I have my family & friends but need others support....... Thanks for listening : ) Allie.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Sending you lots of ((( hugs ))))
