At 18 I was diagnosed with HPV. At 24 I was told I had rapidly changing cells. At 27 I was told I had CIN 1, had a colposcopy. At 28 I was told I had CIN 3, had a colposcopy. I then had the surgery where a portion of the cervix is removed, which revealed a deeper portion of stage 1 cervical cancer. I had 6 weeks to decide if I wanted a hysterectomy. Due to chronic, severe pelvic pain, missed cycles, bloating, digestion issues, neuralgia, I opted for the hysterectomy. My husband and I were still unsure if we wanted biological children. During the surgery, they found more areas of stage 1 cervical cancer in my uterus, and the doctor said I made the “right choice.” It’s been 5 months and I feel alone, depressed, and unsure of what to feel.

Has anyone experienced something similar?
