Mum-of-five Carrie Henderson was constantly tired, experiencing pain in her pelvis and suffering regular ear infections when she went to see her GP, who asked about a smear test.
A Scots mum was diagnosed with cervical cancer after spotting 'black blood - like tar' and suffering 'unbearable' pains. Carrie Henderson was constantly tired, experiencing pain in her pelvis and suffering regular ear infections when she went to see her GP two years ago.
"The bleeding wasn't normal, it was very thick and clots were coming away. I bled really heavily and it was very traumatic. I knew something wasn't right so I went to my GP. She asked me when I had my last smear test. Carrie, a mum-of-five, was admitted to hospital for a biopsy where she was told that she had stage three cervical cancer on September 19, in 2022. She said: "I remember feeling so numb. I looked at my mum and thought this can't be real.
She said: "I became terminal and was told there's no cure. They told me I had 12 to 18 months to live, this was eight months ago. I'm absolutely devastated for my kids, my parents and the entire family. I am gutted as it has changed my life so much. "It's been nine weeks since I've had no treatment and I'm still really tired." Carrie's most recent scan showed that her condition is 'stable'. The mum says that she will fight as hard as she can for the sake of her children.
