Lucy Curran was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 28
The first time Lucy Curran thought something unusual was happening with her body, was when she began bleeding outside of her period. But, she had no idea it was a sign of something sinister.
But in between Christmas 2021 and the start of 2022, she began noticing what she described as a feeling of 'wetting herself,' and on January 4 booked herself in for a smear test. She was diagnosed with stage two cervical cancer, meaning the cancer had spread outside the cervix, into the surrounding tissues, and was given a treatment plan. For seven weeks, Lucy had chemotherapy once a week, and radiotherapy daily.
"I couldn’t find any guidance on what to do when you have symptoms at my age, and I had to really push my GP to get HRT." "Because I had already had chemotherapy, I couldn’t have it again to kill the cancer, it would just prolong my life. Surgery was my only option to get rid of it and I was hoping and praying that I could get it."
Lucy found that there was little information or support out there for those with a urostomy bag, so she decided to post on her Instagram page, under the handle @kicking_cancer_in_the_crotch, to share her journey and raise awareness.
