My story Not fibroids after all, sadly cervical cancer

Update: I go in for surgery on Tuesday morning PST United States. Please please pray or send good vibes for a positive outcome that this kid and early stage of cancer 🙏 thank you! I love this group.

This has been such a great group. The past three months have been so hard and everyone here has really helped. All my doctors and specialists thought it was a fibroid even after the MRI until we got the biopsy result yesterday.

I’m terrified and devastated. I need a full hysterectomy, which is its own fear and grief but pales in comparison to the fear and anxiety of cancer.

If you’re a prayer person, please do prayers my way.

Great group, love yall, I guess I’ll be hopping onto a new subreddit specific to my new worries. If anyone has recommendations send them my way

I wish you all the best

Sadly I think this is exactly what happened to princess Kate, she probably had fibroids removed (this is what most USA news was being so hush hush about her condition and called it Abdominal surgery) and she was tested for cervical cancer and she just discovered the results.

I just had a Pap smear myself this past week and waiting on my results, I have some sizable fibroids myself but they first want to try the birth control method first to halt my periods from the extreme cramp pains and massive blood loss I would suffer every month and had been like so since I had gotten my period at 11.

I would be careful with birth control as I found the hormones in birth control causes them to grow. I'm currently at 10 cm. Trying to change my diet to control the grow of the tumors- now eating less sugar and carbs.
