I have been in remission from stage IIIc cervical cancer for 3 years. I'm here because I would like to connect with other women who have gone through the same thing, exchange experiences and doubts, be part of this group support and keep learning new ways to take care of myself..... Big hugs to all.

Thank you very much for your reply and the links you have passed me. I have already signed up for both
Sure, I'll introduce myself a bit:
Three years ago I was diagnosed with stage IIIC cervical cancer with pelvic lymph node involvement. After surgery and lymph node removal, I underwent five sessions of chemotherapy (cisplatin) with concurrent radiotherapy (25 sessions) and then completed three days of brachytherapy. Although my results showed no residual disease, I continued with a two-year immunotherapy (dostarlimab) trial, which concluded in November 2023. I have been in complete remission for three years now. I want to share and find new ways to recover from the aftermath of the treatments and find or give support to other women who have gone through or are going through the same thing. The issues that concern me most now is how to continue learning to take care of myself (diet, sport, stress management, emotions etc.), and lymphedema and the further recovery of my sexuality. I am also interested in commenting and exchanging opinions on how we emotionally manage this whole journey and the obstacles we are encountering.
