Recent diagnosis possible 4th stage cervical cancer

[Kaz13]

Hi I am a 47yr old female, recently diagnosed with possible 4th stage cervical cancer. I also have a fracture in my L2 of my spine. Constant sore back , I had a bone biopsy done, despite receiving results of a previous scan, that indicated  no lesions I still had to have the bone biopsy.  Also an abdominal scan said the mass in my cervix was encased in a " bubble of fluid. Yet to find out how bad it is, and the next course of treatments.Has anyone had a similar experience?

I am very worried, as I am a mum of two, and a loving partner. Fearful, if I stand a chance of surviving this.
