12 weeks Post Op Cervical Cancer

Yes thats right it was cervical cancer. All was going great. I was feeling better, I was healing well until a month ago when I started having pain in my pelvis where my right Ovary used to be and through to my anus. I thought it was a bad bladder infection and self treated with Cipro for over a week. The pain didn't go away. I didn't want to involve my Doctors because the month before I had pain on the left side so they put me through a CT Scan and it was nothing. So I waited until the pain was so bad I was in a fetal position in bed. The Doctors again put me through another CT Scan and this time it showed something above my Vaginal cuff on the right side where the pain has been. They did an in Office biopsy on the spot and it came back No Tumor present. I am in the kind of pain No one wants to ever feel. Its like a very Bad bladder and anal infection combined 24/7. The burning is sharp and intense a 10 on a pain scale where 10 is the worst possible pain. They are sending me to Pain Management. I am already on the strongest Vicodin they have. But apparently there is no cure for this pain. From what I understand the pain is from the radiation and chemo I had before surgery. It burned a hole in my vaginal cuff. If they do surgery it will stir up the radiation even more. As it is the radiation can continue to cause problems all through my body for the rest of my life. No One Ever Told Me This Could Happen! I may have to be on heavy narcotics the rest of my life.Yes everyone says well at least you are alive. OMG!! Please Pray for me. I lost a few pounds I am 121 lbs. I need to eat more. The RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery?? Saved my life, it would be a whole lot worse if I still weighed 247 lbs. Cancer loves fat.
