Cervical Cancer

• I'd like to connect with other women who have cervical cancer. I feel like they'll understand me best. Can you tell me where I should look?
• Are there any alternative treatment options available for cervical cancer? Or things I could be doing in addition to standard treatment?
• Where can I find the latest treatment and research that is being done regarding cervical cancer?
• What resources are available for women with cervical cancer who have no medical insurance? I was going to a specialist and my cancer was advancing. I have had no treatment since due to lack of insurance.
• I am looking to connect with survivors of cervical and/or vaginal cancers who have found success in managing long-term side effects of pelvic radiation. I have been offered little in terms of treatment of after-effects and am wondering if anyone has found relief.
