Hello,

I’m new here and after 2.5 years battling resistant cervical cancer I’ve been approved for total pelvic exenteration surgery at UCSF. Confident this is the best next step since we’ve exhausted other promising treatment without success.

I’m 42, restaurant owner, mother of a 7yo daughter, 5yo son and married to my husband for 16 years. I know this will be a HUGE surgery with some major life changes, but thankful for the option instead of more treatment.

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s had it. I’ll begin education through UCSF this next week and scheduled for surgery 2/6/25.
