Hi, I'm Sandi. I was just diagnosed yesterday with adenocarcinoma of the cervix. I guess the Dr. who did my colposcopy saw something she didn't like because she rushed my results through. I thought I was just going to get the results of my vaginal ultrasound, and I was told I had the cancer. I only had a few tears at the Dr's office, haven't had a really good cry yet, maybe that will happen soon.
I'm 39. I have two children, ages 8 and 22 months, and a husband whom I sometimes refer to as my third child.
I'm doing a lot of wandering around, and a lot of being facetious, as that's the way we deal with things in our family. My facebook profile now says "Sandi says 'My Adenocarcinoma of the Cervix brings all the boys to the yard". My husband reacted in his usual way to stress, my getting a pack of cigarette (Yeah, lets spread that cancer around! I said), and drinking half of a bottle of whiskey.
I have an appointment Tuesday morning at Cancercare Manitoba (which happens to be a block and a half from my house), and I'll get a full physical, full assessment, and see what course of action we're going to take.
There doesn't seem to be as much information online as the more common cervical cancer. If anyone can point me in the direction of some information I'd appreciate it.

Sandi.
I've just read your post and damn!. I too have one of those 3rd (though mine 2nd) children. He will react to stress differently to you. Let him be, He will need to be there for you, when you do crumble. And believe me you will. Please don't leave him in the dark to your feelings. I did, because i didn't think matt could handle my thoughts on top of his own. Then of course i felt like i was the one carrying both our feelings. Trust me, be open and lay it all out. Tell him how your scared, worried- what ever you are. Be open and let it all flow. It's better in the long run.- believe me.
I'm the same, why make things worse by being negative or cry, or upset others more. Our motto the same- chin up and kick arse. I didn't cry at Dr's. I didn't cry when i hoped in the car and told mum, didn't cry when i told my husband, but i did crumble. You do need to, then you take it all in, and then say ok, enough- lets kick this things butt and make me better.
Get all your options and then sit and really think about it. Don't get pushed in any way- unless they truely think their only option. (myself- do anything to get rid of it altogether- too many friends who went the softer treatment, then found too late to do the more evasive- but better option).
Being your age- still young, but had your beatuiful children. they may reccomend a hysterectomy. something to think about.
Take care and let me know what and how things are going- feel free to rant and rave a bit.  thats what we are here for.
