Hi Colleen. Yes, I was flabbergasted. I was just over 2 years out and believed I would never have to deal with the prospect of a gynecological cancer again.I started spotting and called my surgeon immediately who did a biopsy. Biopsy positive for stage 1A grade 1: MRI showed nothing, but radiation oncologist wanted to be sure there was nothing else so ordered the PET which came back clean. Radiation starts tomorrow. 25 external beam and then a week break then 5 brachytherapy. Daily visits to the hospital during Covid concern me, of course, but I am taking every precaution plus. Been a bit of an emotional roller coaster but I am feeling relieved since PET results. I think hearing from others who have experienced this would be a very positive thing. Thanks so much for your quick reply.

Hi Samaco, how are you now? It has been almost 2 years since your relapsed and I'm curious on to how is it going. Praying that you are doing well. I had similar surgery in July 2022, so that thought is in my mind 24/7 but not always in a bad way. Once you get this diagnosis you are never ever the same, you have hope, you go about your regular routine as best as possible but the fear of a relapsed is so REAL. I try to ignore it most days, I'm grateful for being here but I have to admit that I am a little scared of what the future holds for me. I will do my best to be happy, healthy and connected with God and my family, that's all I can do. I wish everyone here the best of luck, GOD bless You ALL!
