Her feelings of sexuality were not changed by having a trachelectomy.

 



I think the cervix being an internal organ it doesn't have such a role for me. I can imagine People with breast cancer it's a more physically noticeable part of you if you have to have a mastectomy but the cervix it's invisible really isn't it, it's something you don't see. So people don't look at you differently because they can't see that your cervix has gone so it wasn't a problem for me.
