Don't know if I belong here (cervix issues)
Hi, I feel strange posting on here without a diagnosis, but I think I'm losing my mind during this wait. About 4-6 weeks ago, I had a scary, severe, midcycle hemorrhage. It smelt absolutely vile (sorry for TMI). It was nothing like my periods, and I was extremely sick at the time. Since then, I get a watery discharge (not…

Bad bad bad day..
I got pet scan results yesterday evening. Not good. Cancer cells have spread to numerous lymph nodes in thorax, bowel and armpit. I am so upset.
