Hi all

I was diagnosed with carcinosarcoma of the uterus, I had a hysterectomy on the 8th of April, then I got nercrosis of the abdominal wall, I had a scan and in 8 werks the cancer as spread to the virgina and nodules on the lung,i have had 3 chemo and all iam getting is dark brown tissue and discharge, which is getting me down, plus UTI, does anybody have this problem, I have no other update because my scan is the 19th August, what I can't understand is why iam only having chemo and no radiotherapy 

Thank you for reading 

  • Sorry you are still having issues  

    I don’t have a gynaecological cancer so don’t have experience of vaginal discharge. I hope your upcoming scan brings some good news for you.

  • Hi  

    I am going to state the obvious here, so I won’t be offended if you come back and say” of course I have! “But have you told anyone in your medical team about the discharge and the uti? The UTI can make you feel very poorly, as well as extremely painful and uncomfortable so please do make sure you have antibiotics for that, but also keep an eye on your temperature. If you feel really unwell the weekend, more so than you expect with your chemo, then phone the medical team, you would have been given a number to call in case of feeling unwell. Or call 111 but explain you are having chemo. 
    If you just want to speak to someone about the discharge, then call your clinical nurse. She will be able to explain if this is expected. 

    Hope this eases for you soon.

  • I know how horrible this is for you, prior to my hysterectomy I had a terrible time, I couldn’t leave the bathroom, let alone the house. I know it isn’t nice, but reassuring it is the “bad” stuff coming away. Big hugs.

  • Please don’t feel like that, we all here have our own stories, all equally as difficult as each other. That’s the beauty of the group, we are all in the same boat, and only we know how it feels. We encourage each other, x

  • Hi Mogsmum, I've just come across your message & really hope that this message finds you to be feeling much better. It really did sound like you were having a miserable time of it 3 months ago.

    I really wish you well & hope the vaginal discharge has now all come away for you.

    I've had many UTIs over the years & they really are awful. The burning pain & feeling like you need to pee all the time is just horrible, it really is. Hopefully the antibiotics worked quickly for you.

    I was diagnosed with Lobular Breast Cancer in February 25 & stage 4 Metastatic in the bones in May 25. I have Ribociclib 400mg, 21 days on, 7 days off. Letrozole each day & Denosumab Injections every 4 weeks.

    My main struggles are pain in both Pelvis & in the top of my spine. I recently started using Lidocaine Patches to try & ease the pain. I'm very hopeful they'll start working soon but I'm told it could be 2-3 weeks for the full benefit they may offer.

    Wishing you all the very best for the future 

    Take care X
