Scream and shout here mally. So sorry to hear this but it sounds as though they have caught it early and they seem to be on the case. Stay strong and we are all here if you need us. (Big Hug) xx

Mallyh you must be very worried for her. Hopefully as it is early stage it can be eradicated and she will be fine. It is a good thing that she is upbeat about it and I hope that our good wishes (and a prayer or two) will get you through this difficult time.

Oh mallyh, I'm so sorry.

I think sometimes it can be easier to be the one with the health issue than to be a loved one.

It's great that she's upbeat. It would seem that it's been caught early and that a course of action is underway.

Come on here and scream and shout, there's always a friendly ear around willing to listen.

(sending hugs) xx

Am very sorry to hear that but echo mazie in that it seems to have been caught very early and they sound on the ball. I dont know how old your daughter is but I would think she is in very good hands and we are all here for you to rant and rave whenever you want xxx

[mazie]

Do you have anyone close that you can discuss your feelings with mally?

[pusskin]

I bet you are upset mallyh, I would be upset too if it my daughter.
Scream and shout as much as you like on here, there's loads of caring Abers to chat with. Take care xx

[mallyh]

thankyou mazie and grasscarp i just need to get it out of my system as i want to be strong for her and not let her see me crumble xx

[ladyalex]

That's awful news, mallyh.
I don't have mauch to offer except the same thoughts as everyone else, and , of course, my very best wishes for you both.
Stay strong....she is!

Screaming and shouting is not necessary........this particular stage of cervical cancer is curable.

[flump1]

Oh mally, you just come and scream whenever you feel like it, what an awful thing to have happen. Keep positive, and maybe just maybe it will be contained. Hugs from me x

[mazie]

We are Mothers Sqad, we scream and shout when our babies are hurt or ill....

[mallyh]

oh you lovely people just reading what you've all put really helps, like having a houseful of friendsxxx

They say cervical cancer is one of the easiest to treat. I know that won't make you feel much better right now, but it really isn't all doom and gloom.
My sister had it and she is now absolutely fine. She can't have children, but she has her life, and that's what matters.
She was the same actually, really upbeat and positive. It was us that were falling apart - but you have to stay strong as she's going to need you.
I have to say, AB was brilliant for me too. You can get things off your chest and ask questions you maybe wouldn't want to ask your daughter. We're all here for you mallyh. I wish you and your daughter the best :-) xx

Mally, your feelings are so normal - this type of news is like being run over by a steamroller. Everyone trying in their own way to keep upbeat whilst inside they are in turmoil, here is a great sounding board, but also be open with each other too.

So glad it has been picked up early and she has you for support along the way. Sending positivity and love. ♥
