Hello
Don't know if I belong here (cervix issues)
Hi, I feel strange posting on here without a diagnosis, but I think I'm losing my mind during this wait. About 4-6 weeks ago, I had a scary, severe, midcycle hemorrhage. It smelt absolutely vile (sorry for TMI). It was nothing like my periods, and I was extremely sick at the time. Since then, I get a watery discharge (not…
Cancer returned after Pelvic Exenteration

LONG recovery but I am getting stronger everyday! Yesterday I found 3 small lumps and when I went to my last Dr. appointment…

Bad bad bad day..
I got pet scan results yesterday evening. Not good. Cancer cells have spread to numerous lymph nodes in thorax, bowel and armpit. I am so upset. I have had six rounds of cisplatin/taxol and old tumors die while new ones grow. I don't understand this. I thought it either works or does not work. I'll be seeing my doctor…

Hello. I had/have anal cancer due to HPV-16 and already read and post in that forum. I received chemotherapy and radiation, both of which were difficult and resulted in 3 hospitalizations during treatment. My 3 month sigmoidoscopy shows dysplasia (AIN-1) and a condition where the skin is very dry and easily fissures…

Last night I got to see Sir Paul McCartney in Nashville with my husband and daughter. Even though he started 50 mins. late, he put on a hell of a show!! I've always loved him since seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show over 50 years ago (am I that old???)!!!!! Life is good. Thank you Lord!!!

In 7/2014 i had a complete hysterectomy and was told all cancer was removed. However, i have since been in pain after sex with bleeding, general adominal pain that is excruiciating at…
Cervical cancer....... I was happy to believe
I was diagnosed with cervical cancer July, 2013. I had external radiation, chemo, and internal radiation. On my first PET scan my Drs found something they called "pooling" near my rectum. After treatment one of my Drs wanted to explore this further. I was givin a colonostopy, they found nothing. A few months later I went…
3 yrs. out from dx
Wednesday was my 3 year out mark from being dx with stage 4 vaginal cancer. Looking back, I could only see forward moment by moment. I couldn't see myself this far out. But, I guess it's that way for everyone. You have to use all you have in you to push through each minute, each treatment, each testing. I still get abit…
vin3 questions
Hi, in November I had a biopsy done and it came back positive as vin3. I am very fortunate and was sent to Dr.dodge at princess Margaret right away. In the middle of July they had me in for surgery and removed my whole perineum. I was told that there was definitely cancerous cells. Unfortunately for me it ended up getting…
new/fearful of vulvar CA
Hello, I have a lesion getting biopsied on Thursday and am very scared. Have read on internet and suspect verrucous carsinoma.

Looking to hear from those with cervical adenocarcinoma or any cervical cancers and what stage, grade and treatments you have had or having, also what symptoms you had. All I know (while I wait for my hysterectomy) is I have adenocarcinoma in cervix and uterine but I have no idea what grade yet and certainly won't know…
Vulvar Cancer return in less than 3 months
I thought that I had an infection but my Onc. Gyn. believes that the cancer returned! He did a biopsy and if it has returned, he explained that since I have already had radiation and chemo treatments, that my only other alternative is major surgery to remove the tumor but that is not a guarantee that it will cure me and…
