Cancer?

Dexzylynnette · 04-06-2009, 12:05 AM

Hello.
Some of you have probably seen my other threads..
really pointless ones at best.
Well, this time I really need advice.
I have cervical cancer, which they think MIGHT be hpv but haven't checked for it, they don't see a reason to. Well I went in in November to get my cell biopsy and they told me I would be ok but to come back in a year.
It hasn't been a year yet but I am starting to feel very ill, loosing a lot of weight, becoming more pale..I basically look like a zombie.
Every Monday I walk into school I can see the worried expressions on every ones faces...and a lot of people have asked me why this was happening. I would rather not just jump straight to cancer...I dont want to worry them over nothing.
The thing that is worrying me the most is that instead of my period this month I had 2 weeks and agonizing pain, major weight loss, and I have been cold constantly.
I am already anemic, and I was used to the cold but now i am not.
My boyfriend commented on how I constantly feel cold now.
I was wondering is there was ANYTHING else besides my cancer creeping up on me that could be making me this sick?
I can't be pregnant, so that idea is out the window.
If anyone else out there has dealt with this kind of problem with people, i could really use some advice on how to stop worrying about it...or at least how to explain to them that I look like I am dieing because I could possibly be dieing.

I had this cell biopsy thing happen to me a couple years back as well and it is very scary and stressful.
However, when my tests finally did come back normal [ it was HPV and it screwed up my cell division for awhile ], they still sent me for regular checkups.
They should be doing the same for you. I would strongly suggest seeing a doctor as soon as you can.
Could it be the stress of possibly having cancer that is making you ill?
Just...go to the doctor.

The told me I do have cancer, and no I have not been stressed lately.
It just started to become apparent to everyone around me how my body was kinda..changing a lot.
And Then my period started to screw up a lot..
I was not stressed until this morning I woke up to having very bad circle under my eyes, which has never happened to me before

Please go to the doctor tomorrow. Anyone would be worried sick if they had those symptoms. I know when I just THOUGHT I had cancer I lost about one pound a day until I had the breast surgery. I could eat hardly anything at all. Are you able to eat? I'm so sorry you are worried.

Dexzylynnette · 04-06-2009, 01:57 AM

I am able to eat but I do not have an appetite so for the past week Ive only really ate once, and that was today at my room mates sisters birthday dinner.
I try to eat but nothing is good to me

Well, there's your problem. You must tell your doctor about this.

I'm so sorry. What treatment are you receiving?

sarey · 04-06-2009, 03:51 AM

Just so you know, loss of weight/hair and such is caused not from the cancer, but from chemotherapy.

I'm completely confused by this. They told you that you do have cancer, but then they told you actually it might be HPV, and then they said "but hey, don't worry; go away and come back in a year if you're still alive". Forgive me, but doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

What did they say about the cancer? Is it operable? How advanced is it? What did the biopsy show? What forms of treatment were proposed? I've never heard of someone with cancer just being told to go away for a year.

In any case, with all of your symptoms, you should certainly go back to your doctor immediately, and get some answers and some proper treatment.

Yes, I know. They didn't tell me anything about it and I am assuming they wanted to wait to see if it would develop or go away by itself, which i guess can happen with cervical cancer
