Hi My name is Maritza Sanchez and I was recently rediagnosed with cervical cancer I am going in for a complete pelvic extenteration removing colon, vagina uterus and perhaps my bladder. Has anyone have this done? Please so many questions....I will also be getting an astomy bag for the rest of my life.

I will be praying for you I have stage 3 cervical cancer its at a stand still at the moment I didn't get the chance to have surgery they said it would have spread but the doc did mention I would have had to have a bag for my bladder an another one I found this out recently that would have been outcome but I do know people with these an if ut saves your life an helps then id say that's good but im sure it still cones with risks an emotional trauma but you can do this I believe everything will be alrite

Hi Chrystal, thank you for your reply. It is good to know i am not alone. Me and my family have so many questions and it's good to get input from others in same situation. I have had a second opinion the second opinion said he think he will be able to salvage my colon and bladder he stated the tumor is not growing out or spreading ots the location of it. I did get hopeful after that and I wanted him to perform the surgery but he was not in my insurance network. I have my final sit down on the 20th and I'm going to share what I was told and see what she thinks. I am hopeful and pray it goes well. Thanks for reading. Have a blessed day. I will pray for you as well.
