Hello all. I am new to this forum but unfortunately not new to cancer! My Bowel cancer has come back only 6 months after being given the all clear (was it ever actually gone?!) Unfortunately it has now spread into my vagina. Initial surgeon had stated that it would require a hysterectomy and permanent stoma sounded doable but since seeing the specialist surgeon it now seems I need a hysterectomy involving removal of the back wall of my vagina and pelvic floor. Not quite the full TPE. I’m just looking to see if anyone on here has been in the same boat? Thank you in advance. 

  • Hi  

    I’ve replied to your post in the vaginal cancer forum so won’t repeat myself here. We’ve certainly had ladies in the group who’ve gone through a hysterectomy for recurrence but I’m not aware of anyone posting about the more extensive surgery you’ll be having. I’m not sure what treatment you had for your bowel cancer, so it might be helpful if you can update your profile with details of your treatment so far so that it’s easier for people to reply if they’ve been through something similar.
