Bleeding after radiotherapy

Hi All,

I finished cisplatin chemotherapy and 35 sessions of external radiotherapy on June 14th, 2024, for recurrent womb cancer and a hysterectomy in December 2022. I've had pretty continuous light bleeding since finishing. A few weeks ago, I had heavier bleeding, like a period but no clots. 

Has anyone else experienced this?

I've been back in touch with CNS and had an MRI last week and results next week. Fingers crossed

  • Hi  

    I'm not a member of this group but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    Hope the results pinpoint what's causing the bleeding.

    ((hugs))

  • Hi Lee

    Am sorry to hear that you have had some bleeding since the treatment for your recurrence. 

    I hope you have managed to get some reassurance from your CNS. After my radiotherapy I was warned that some ladies may get a bit of bleeding or discharge after treatment and was told I could always email the radiotherapists if I had any questions. 

    I hope that your MRI results come back and are reassuring. In the meantime we are here if you need anything.

  • Thanks Jane, I had a call from my consultant to say that the MRI was clear. I still have to attend an appointment tomorrow due to the bleeding but at least it's not a relapse. 

    Thanks for replying
