How I Found Out I Had Cervical Cancer - Gwendolyn | The Patient Story

Gwendolyn experienced heavy menstrual cycles, severe back pain, and stomach bloating. Her doctor suspected fibroids, but persistent symptoms led to an ER visit where an MRI revealed cervical cancer. After a hysterectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation, she learned the cancer had spread to her hip, legs, and spine. Severe treatment side effects included strokes and heart attacks due to dehydration. Seeking better options, she joined a clinical trial at MD Anderson, which offered fewer side effects. In this cancer vlog, Gwendolyn highlights the importance of self-advocacy, the benefits of clinical trials, and the need for better cancer patient support. #cancerstories #cancerpatient #cancersurvivor #patientstories #thepatientstory #cervicalcancer #cervicalcancersymptoms #cervicalcancerscreening The Patient Story: The Patient Story is led by a dedicated team of medical, editorial, and video experts, committed to authentically portraying the cancer patient experience.
