    Vagina cancer

    Hi Brigitte

     

    I had Vulvar/vaginal cancer almost 4 years ago(Stage 11 Squamous cell carcinoma) and underwent chemo and radiation. Brutal but now I am cancer free. I wont tell you it is all a bed of roses...the ratiation left scarred burned skin down there and I have ulcerations but getting better each and every month. AND so happy to be here with my husband, boys and puppies. We feel the survival rate is very good for me at the 5 year mark and I am taking one day at a time. Do not despair. I know this is very easy to do. Email me at katenraj@cox.net if I can be of any help. Hang in there and this is your walk, and you will handle it your way, and everyone is different.

    God Bless

    A BIG Thank you to Sunflash & 2changes

    Had my last brachi yesterday. It was so painful but i am recovering slowly...feel sooo tired. It is still painful downthere...hope it gets better soon.I am able to walk & lay down but sitting is a bit uncomfortable. Thank you both for your support. There is noone in Australia who had this same type of cancer so your support Sunflash meant a lot to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Hugs & xxx

    Today i went for my six week checkup. They found a limp which wasnt there after radiotherapy and chemo. It appeared sometime after brachitheapy ...They will ivestigate ..is it a cancer scar, a ner cancer an ulcer...

    They 've given me a large dose of radiation so it is no longer an option...So, it just my bad luck. Thank you everyone gor your kindness and support.
