My first thought was relief that the cancer had been taken away. A few months ha later, when I had plucked up the courage to look, with the aid of a mirror, I felt as though my feminine identity had gone and I shed lots of tears. I feel as k now and resigned to the fact that I am still me. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to feel.
Thanks for replying, the cancer has been removed, no more treatment needed. Just recovery time now, it's been a scary journey, it's only 4 weeks after surgery, so still healing
I'm so glad that you're doing well and that the cancer has been removed.
My journey started November 23 when after having treatment for vaginal thrush it turned out to be cancer.
I had chemoradiation starting February for 5 weeks. Got put in remission in the July.
I then noticed a leison on my pernium which attached to my annus, I couldn't have chemoradiation again so it was to be an operation. Having ct scans and mris to see if the cancer had spread, which it hadn't.
I went into hospital on the 18th December for major surgery, I had to have a stoma bag for life they removed my rectum and annus, they removed the tumour, then the plastic team did their part. I was in hospital 12 days and I'm slowly recovering. The stitches around my pernium burst so I've now got a hole and leaks excess fluid, I've got district nurses coming daily for dressing. I was catheterised for 30 days and had it removed but I got a bad uti so I was re catheterised, hoping next Monday it will come out for good.
I've a designer vagina and buttocks but the best news is THEY GOT ALL THE CANCER
