Hi Clavid

The treatment is pretty standard dependent on stage-early stage and a small tumour could be a radical hysterectomy, but stage 2 and beyond would normally be radiation and chemotherapy. Typically around 25 sessions of external radiotherapy, some sessions of brachytherapy(internal radiotherapy) and around 5 sessions of chemotherapy. Radiotherapy is daily on week days, chemo is once a week for around 5 sessions. The chemo used is a low dose so you don’t lose your hair. Individual treatment plans may vary slightly as they are all individually tailored to each person but this gives you a rough idea. 

I was diagnosed just over 3 years ago so please feel free to keep in touch and let us know how you’re getting on. Any questions, just ask..obviously I’m not a medical professional, but have had a lot of experience with treatments. xx

Hi Clavid,

Sorry to hear your diagnosis, I was diagnosed in May stage 2b grade 1 adenocarcinoma tumour. I started my treatment 25 radiotherapy 5 chemo and 3 brachytherapy on 3rd  August and finished treatment on 16th September. 

I found the treatment very doable just got tired at the end. I am currently doing well and hope to return to work soon.

If you have any questions please give me a shout.

Take care x
