In reply to the discussion: I was diagnosed in February with stageIV Cervical Cancer. [View all]cynannmarie
(113 posts)Sorry I didn't see this until today. I hope that if you've had your scan by now, that there was good news. It is so nerve wracking to have those on the horizon-- and then the dreaded wait for the results.
My cancer turned out to be Stage I in the final analysis, but for about 6 weeks it was thought to be Stage 3 or 4 due to the presence of an extremely rare, separate ovarian tumor in addition to the more common, early stage tumors of the endometrium. The long wait for the final pathology reports that were sent out for consultation (and that contradicted the initial ones) made for a very anxious time. But it obviously was a great relief to get such unanticipated good news at the end of it.
My first major cancer follow up was also very unsettling beforehand (although no problems detected). The ones since then have gotten a little less intimidating. But it's hard to imagine ever having one that will feel like a breeze. Cancer's legacy is to never be entirely free from the recurrence worry-- for any of us.
Best of luck to you! Let us know what happens.
