I have recently been diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 1b1 and the recommended treatment for that is radical hysterectomy with lymph node dissection. I am meeting with the gyn-oncologist in 3 weeks to determine if I am in good enough shape for the surgery ..... I am overweight, unfortunately. If the surgeon determines that I haven't lost enough weight, I'll receive internal/external radiation instead. It has been presented to me that they have equally good results for my stage, but I am opting for surgery if possible.
