Cancer of the Vagina

Hello.  I am 8 months since my full hysterectomy (ovaries etc. taken), and post-op they found cancer, endometrial cancer early stages.  I required no further treatment.  

I have been having issues with my bowels (changes to how frequently I pass a stool, to constipation, bloating, nausea), something I have nver had problems with.  Gastro did a gastroscopy and an x-ray and have reported in a letter that I have gastritis and erosions and also an impacted bowel (both sides) and I have been discharged to the care of my gp, with no other follow-up from Gastro Consultant. 

I have been spotting bright red blood for 3 days.  Not an excessive amount, not requiring pad changes.

I am worried not just because I am bleeding but also due to my other symptoms, i.e. bloating, constipation, change in bowel habits, nausea, excessive fatigue.

I am very worried that a cancer has returned.  Is it possible for a new gynae cancer to grow even though I have had a total hysterectomy?

Any help/advice is very much appreciated.

  • Thank you so much Nurse Jemma,

    I emailed the secretary of the doctor I am under at the hospital and are now waiting on their reply.

    I have calmed a little now, and I am reassured by your message and the information you have provided, particularly as you say it may be scar tissue.

    I think the combination of not feeling quite myself, re. gastritis, constipation and then to start bleeding naturally made me panic a little.

    Hopefully I will hear back from the doctor at the hospital soon.

    Thank you again x
