Feel like I’m spinning and loosing control of my life.

Hi Zanna4getmenot and welcome to the group.

I was in a very similar situation myself, so can understand how you are feeling right now. The wait for biopsy results is a horrible position to be in, and the wait seems endless. I definitely understand the fear, but nothing is certain until the biopsy results come back. The doctors don’t know for certain at the moment what the growths are. 

I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2018 which was too advanced for a radical hysterectomy, so I had chemoradiation. My cancer recurred unfortunately soon after treatment  ended, and I ended up with surgery at that point. The cancer was also at the top of my vagina, but it was a recurrence of cervical cancer rather than a new primary vaginal cancer. 

The biopsy will firstly determine if this is cancer, and then if it is a recurrence of your cervical cancer or a new primary cancer. Although your abnormal growths are at the top of your vagina, it does not necessarily mean it is vaginal cancer.

It takes a lot to absorb having another diagnosis, if this is the case, but I did find an inner strength I didn’t know I had to deal with it. There was no choice. 

I’m so sorry you are facing another potential diagnosis, but hope that you will find support and help here in the community. Please feel free to post as often as you wish and ask any questions. Let us know when you get your results, and you know what the next steps will be if it’s cancer. There is support for you here.

Thank you Sarah,

means a lot to log and and see a response from someone who has felt that pain spinning and fear and one who had re-occurrence I think if it is cancer it will be the same as u as is right where my cervical cancer was. 

I should hear by the 4th well that will be the two week mark but I know from last time sometimes there’s delays so I’m prepared for that this time. 
I know that inner strength you talk about our minds and body are able to handle a lot more than we think I’ve had a life of using my strength and trying my best to not sit in the anger of the why me brain xxxxxx

thank you for being there I hope u are ok x

Sarah can ask chemo

for this type of cancer do you loose your hair? I’m aware different there are different type so I thought I would ask x

Hi Zanna

When I had chemo for my cervical cancer I had Cisplatin and I was told I would not lose my hair.

This was true for me. I didn’t lose any-there was no difference in my hair at all. 

I really hope that you find out more information soon-the waiting is so hard. I’m sending you a virtual hug now-I understand.
