I have been NED (or remission depending on your doctor...most say NED though) since March 2010. I was diagnosed stage 4 mestastic cc with lymph node involvment and there was also a mass on my liver in August 2009. I had very aggressive treatments, but so far and I continue to pray daily that it did the job.

It is possible to survive and treatments; while sometimes horrible are getting better every day, month and year at fighting this terrible disease.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you begin this journey.

First, your right you are a survivor and I think each of us are in our own way. It can be beat and there are several ladies on here that are. Myself I am 3 months out of treatment and I dubbed myself a survivor the day I finished the treatments. My faith is what got me through. I have always had a relationship with God and we did a lot of chatting while I was going through this. And I promise you when I look at how bad I felt some days he was there and it was then "That he carried me". Good luck and God Bless. I know my stage was 3b something however I never really looked at it or paid much attention to it. I just made up my mind that it didnt matter that I was going to fight hard and keep the faith. <3

1.5 years as a survivor since the end of my very last treatment. Almost 2 years (December will be 2) since I was told I had Stage 3B Cervical Cancer with lymph node involvement. There are some changes but nothing that can't be handled. I feel good, I am back working full time, and looking forward to more years being cancer free. Attitude makes a huge difference, I simply decided I was getting better and it never once occurred to me that I would not. Don't be afraid to ask for support because at some point you may need it. Currently I am teaching in France for one term - a dream that I had thought would not happen. Life does continue and get better. I wish I could give you a hug and let you know that it gets better but all we have are words.

I am a two-time cervical cancer survivor. October 2005, Stage 2B, 28 radiation treatments, 6 cisplatin. Cancer-free for 14 months and had a recurrence. Received a radical surgery known as a Pelvic Exenteration April 2007. This was a life saving, life changing surgery. Although, I continue to have complications since the surgery, I am 5 1/2 years cancer-free
