I had an internal examination today with my oncology surgeon, and she spotted what she described as an area that looked like an ulcer at the top of my vagina. I had surgery on Feb 3rd 2025 to remove all but 3 inches of my vagina. I completed my chemo on 31st August.

I've been experiencing some discomfort in my vagina, but no bleeding. So today has side swiped me. She asked when my CT scan is, (it's 27th August). She also took a swab and there was some blood on the swab. She let my wife have a look at the time, and it was described as ulcer like in appearance, white inside, red around it. Which is exactly how my 2 other recurrences looked. 

I feel devastated, even though it may not be cancer again and I need to wait and see. It feels like deja vu. Just when I was looking forward to getting some normality back in my life

  • Hi,  Sounds awful for you. I can't comment on the medical issue but I am sending you hugs and good wishes, until you know what is happening. Keep strong, lean on loved ones and try not to think too much about this - until you have some firm information about it. Take each day at a time and hopefully, they will have some good news for you soon.
