I'm well aware some of these questions might seem silly, but they've gotta be asked haha. So i know during treatment, esp chemo, you need to take precautions re cleaning the toilet and shower properly, which is understandable. So the concerns i have are.... Can i still kiss someone during treatment? If i accidentally sneeze over my cats will that effect them? Are condoms a must? Not just for prevention of pregnancy and disease, but protecting the male from any sort of exposure. Thank you, those are my main questions for now ... View more

Hi I'm Kerri and was diagnosed with 1b1 Cervical cancer on Aug 5th. I had no symptoms and was found through a regular Pap smear. I start treatment (5 chemo, 28 radiation and brachy) on October 4th. It still doesn't feel real. I'm angry, scared, depressed and anxious. But I'm also extremely grateful it was found when it was. I'm almost 40, no kids and extremely single haha. I don't know many people but those I do know are supportive. Since starting my journey only a couple months ago I'm overwhelmed and surprised by how much help and support is out there. And I've been using it too, esp the Counselling. I've been bombarded with so much info and I feel well informed, but still have lots of questions. Hopefully this group can help with some of them. Thank you ... View more
