Questions to ask the consultant

I had a full hysterectomy in November 2020 due to cancer and thought I was now all clear.  The consultant decided to do another biopsy because I was still bleeding intermittently it came back cancerous, I now have vaginal cancer located top right hand of my vagina.  I have a consultation tomorrow following another MRI and CAT scan to see if it's spread to my liver and lungs.

I need help in knowing what questions to ask and would be grateful for any suggestions

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to see that no one from the group felt able to reply to you before your appointment on Wednesday. How did it go?

    It would be great if you could pop something about about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Hi Abb,

    I'm sorry I missed your post, this group seems to be quieter than the others I am in.

    How did your apt go and have they given you some treatment options? I had a total hysterectomy in Feb this year then there were similar developments to yours. Please click on my username for my profile and history.

    Let me know how you got on

  • Hi and welcome!

    This group can be quiet so I’m sorry you didn’t get a reply before your appointment. I hope things went well and you have some plans going forward.

    I’ve had a different story to get to where I am today, but I have had vaginal surgery which you can see on my profile. I hope you’ll come back and let us know how you’re getting on.
