I had breast cancer 3 1/2 years ago. A couple years prior to that I had an abnormal pap. I had a cervical freeze, leep/cone and last year was told the cells were precancer but on vaginal wall. I went to MD Anderson for treatment. They did 3 laser ablation surgeries. Within 3 months of the second one, I had bleeding after sex. They did it again and also did multiple biopsies. They found cancer and MRI revealed swollen lymph nodes. I just got the PET scan approved for May 10th. Trying to get it earlier. Doctor says they will not remove lymph nodes. They are doing radiation daily with chemo once per week. The doctor says its on the cervix and vaginal wall.
hi hope you are ok, i had both external and internal radiotherapy and also 4 lots of chemo
finished my treatment 27th dec 2023
feel free to message if you have any questions
It really is. I'm more terrified of living with long term side effects than the cancer itself. I'm in such a dilemma whether to go ahead
Hi Debs P
I’ve replied to your other post and hope it might be helpful for you. Having had my cancer recur, that for me was way more scary than radiotherapy.

My treatment was over in 2020 as I was able to have surgery.
