in Gynecological Cancers (other than ovarian and uterine) #1

Just celebrated my 4th year since dx of stage 4a vaginal cancer on the 23rd. My husband and I had also celebrated our 30th anniversary in July, so we decided to spend the time in Montego Bay, Jamacia. I am proud to say even though I have a colostomy, I wore 2 piece swimsuits!! That in itself was a really big deal for me. While in Jamacia, I met a young lady from the states who also had been dx with the early stage vaginal cancer!! There are so few cases of this, I was just floored!!!! I know God had placed us there at the same time. She has been having some issues with bleeding and putting off going to the Dr., the treatment she went thru was unpleasant and she was ignoring it. I made her promise me she would make an appt when she got home. I will stay on her till she does!!! I am so thankful to still be here and all clear.
