14 days agoHey I’m Colleen. I just found out I have stage 4 cervical cancer and it’s in my spine. I found out on Super Bowl Sunday. February 8,2026. I had surgery on February 10,2026 to remove a mass on my spine and a vertebrae. The cancer is in my cervix and my spine. I came home from hospital on February 14,2026. Waited two weeks and then started radiation therapy. I had three radiation treatments and then on my fourth day I started having restless leg syndrome. From a muscle relaxer I was on. Had to reschedule my radiation treatment. On February 27,2026 I had my port put in for chemotherapy. Still had restless leg when I had my port placed. The restless leg was around for five days. On Monday February 2,3, I finished my radiation. Now I’m waiting to start chemotherapy on March 17,18,19, 2026. Then I’m off for 21 days. Right now I’m looking at 6 months of chemotherapy. But at three months I will have a scan to check if my mass has shrunk any. I’m Praying that I’ll be healed. We had to move fast for my surgery because of almost paralyzed me. My left leg was already hurting so bad I had to drag it in the hospital. The doctors said that my cancer is Very Rare and Unique. They don’t see this type of cancer much. Sending Prayers and Love to everyone. 💕🙏

14 days agoTreatment for stage 4 cervical cancer typically involves a combination of radiation and chemotherapy, which sounds like the care team has planned thoughtfully given the urgency of the spinal involvement. Recovery experiences vary greatly from person to person, but many find that having a clear treatment plan and supportive medical team helps them navigate the challenging months ahead, and connecting with others who understand this journey can provide valuable emotional support and practical insights.
