Blood spotting during chemo

Hi, it sounds like you may have scratched yourself as its itchy or an infection.  But do mention it to the Doctor as you may need antibiotics.  I had bleeding, similar to a light period after my debulking operation.  This was a shock as I am 60 and haven't had a period for 6 years.  But when I mentioned it to the Doctor, I was told it was normal.  So don't be embarrassed.  Love Jan. x.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the reply.  Hope you are getting back to normal after your operation.  I spoke to the doctor today for my pre chemo chat, and he said I was correct to use the canesten pessary and cream, it has stopped the itch,/soreness and burning.  The spots of blood are much less now as well.  Think where there is blood involved I always panic!    Last chemo tomorrow and have my CT scan booked for 15th July, so hopefully I will get my Operation by August when I should have been on holiday - oh joy!! 

Take care and stay safe,

Love
