One writer shares her experience of having cancer in lockdown.
Adenocarcinoma is much harder to detect via a smear because it develops within the cervical canal rather than the outside of the cervix. The doctors I spoke with have dismissed any link to my painful period. Ultimately, I had cervical cancer despite showing no symptoms and having clear smear tests.I couldn’t bring myself to tell some of my closest friends, because everyone was going through something so significant during lockdown.
Please don’t take your gut instinct for granted. No one knows your mind and body like you do so listen up, they deserve to be heard. One of the surgeons who operated on me called me to say the second operation was successful and my cervical cancer nightmare was over. It’s a conversation I still continue to replay in my head as I come to terms with the fact thatI’d like to say to anyone reading this that, although my cervical cancer experience is less common, it can and does happen. Push for more smears, check ins, and general chats with professionals if something feels awry.
