Welcome to Cancer Chat, Kakariki.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation.
While I can’t provide medical advice I wanted to mention that it might be a good idea consulting your GP if you’re experiencing any health concerns, as they’ll be best placed to assist you.
If you’d like to speak with one of our nurses until you get a change to check your symptoms with your GP, they are available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, between 9 am and 5 pm.
I hope everything works out for you.
Best wishes,

Hello Kakariki and thank you for posting,
As Renata has advised it is always best to be safe and get yourself checked by your doctor. Only a doctor who can assess you and send you for any necessary tests can say what the cause of the bleed may be.
I hope you can get an appointment soon,
Take care,
Jemma
Thank you very much. I have been referred to gynecologist just waiting for hospital appointment.
