Quick update.

She works for BUPA and is having surgery Monday. All the family is on hand to look after her, hubby and the kids.

The bad bit is she has been told it's 50/50

Will post more here when I hear.

Only just seen your thread Hom3r and wanted to say how sorry I was to hear your news. You must all feel that you are in a scary place at the moment but try to keep positive and at least by this time next week you will all know what you are up against in your battle.

to you and all the family.

50/50 what? 50/50 they will get all the tumor? meaning she will need further treatment ie chemo? 50/50 could mean loads of things. Obviously wishing her the best

Hope she gets well soon

That is a really important point Zing that is not understood by most people.

If someone only ever has one partner and they only have one partner then cevical cancer does not spread.

The sad thing is widowers infect their next partner.

The sooner someone gets the diagnosis, the better their chances of survival. I hope she gets well soon,

My very very very bad typing I should NOT have put a

in the 50/50 it should have been a

.

She was told she has a 50/50 survival chance.

For putting a happy smily I'll stand in the corner for a while.

That is not good mate

mind you I know of cases where someone has been given no chance of survival and ended up beating the odds and lasting over 10 years .

Hassle or Cancer... take your choice.....

The message isn't getting across due to the many erroneous scares about vaccinations across the last 30 years.

An update.

Yesterday they removed some lymph glaned from the groin area (IIRC) and the cancer had pread to them it would be a case of cancle surgery and undertake radiotherapy and chemotherapy before a hysterectomy would beconcidered.

But it hadn't so today she had complete hysterectomy (everything was removed). So no it a long road to getting back to health (4 months minimum).

That is a good news Hom3r and what a good phrase "getting back to health" can be when the out come could have been so very different.

Yes it may take some time but with you and the rest of her family and friends supporting her I am sure she will get through the next few months and be able to put these last few scary weeks behind her.
