I have been diagnosed,
I've had a biopsy, and I've gone through the surgery.
I wasn't given a specific level of where my cancer was at... they showed me a chart of normal, not normal, and the stages beyond.
I was at 2 of not normal. The Dr said that there is a good chance that through the surgery I could be cured. But I have to wait until December to go back and get tested again at the hospital.
When you read on the internet, all you hear is best and worst case senerios. What is the true outlook for someone like me?

I have one story for you.
I know a gal, had the surgery... needed uterus removed also. Was at age 23. She is now 42 and still going strong.
Do the follow-ups with the doctors.
Good luck and enjoy your new lease on life. May it be a long one!

When a person has been diagnosed as cancer, whether it is something more fatal (pancreatic, stomach, lung, etc.) or something that can very well be treatable and beatable, people do take it seriously, and they have every right to be. It is very good to hear that you are doing well, and make sure you keep up with your check ups. Cancer does not necessarily mean a death sentence, but it is definitely worth fighting for your life.
My partner was diagnosed with thyroid cancer when she was 43, and she is 48, and the only worse thing about having that, is that she has to take medication for the rest of her life. Hang in there continue to be the same person you are and enjoy the fact that you really do have a lot to live for. Thank you for reading this.

I have been through the same thing. if it is not treated quickly, it can spread and then you will be left with no option other than a histerctomy. Most proceeders take care of it. i had the cryro proceedure and havent had anything come back for about a year now. Just keep watching it and make sure you keep up with your exams and you should be fine.

you were probably treated for dysplasia, not full blown cancer. the chart of stages you describe sound like normal paps, abnormal paps etc. plus most cervical cancer patients have paps every 3 months for 1 or 2 years, if you don't go back for 6 months it is likely only dysplasia
I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/fWRys
Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.
Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.
Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.

everyone story is unique and i've heard of women with late stages of cervical cancer going into remission. the best thing you can do is to just stay positive. go on about your life- wet goals and go about achieving them. that is your best strategy for fighting any cancer.
god bless and fight the good fight!
