My story, right now living in fear I guess. Have been diagnosed with vaginal cancer which is rare and not on most sites. Still continuing diagnosis and treatment plan. I am having a total hysterectomy for other problems. I don't know what to say, honestly, but some of the treatment options I will not do such as removal of vagina. I don't think that will be necessary. It's not my first time around with cancer. When the skin cancer was diagnosed I was terrified, my "best friend" said so it's treatable right. Great response-- no support. Also had pre-cancerous cells in a breast lump at 42, same year as other, removal, lumpectomy and radiation. I knew i had something more wrong than a huge giant fibroid and pain and hormonal mess. Not ready for this and feel lost and alone. Sqamous cell cancer is large cell, can spread all over. So I guess I will do surgery and radiation. No chemotherapy ever as I have seen it . My Dad did it, His choice, my neighbor did it, fought cancer 9 years, died last week. Why bother? Well I hope that I haven't ruined anyone else's day, but even my spouse doesn't know where it is, I told him I needed biopsy etc, end of conversation. I guess he thinks I can live through anything alone. I did go through the others alone. I guess I will do this one alone also. Thanks to anyone who has listened. I'm sorry to bother you.
