Hello CharlstonMarlston, 

It's great to hear that despite being diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer 22 years ago, your mum was given the all clear and has been doing so well since. 

She is definitely doing the right thing in speaking to her consultant next week about this vaginal bleeding and I hope that they will investigate this and make sure it is not related to her initial diagnosis of cervical cancer. There are lots of other things it could be so try not to worry too much until you get the full picture of what is going on. 

Keeping everything crossed for your mum that it all turns out to be nothing of concern

Best wishes,

Hello,

I had cervical cancer in 2012. Since then I've had vaginal bleeding twice. Both times everything checked out ok, I think it had something to do with the lining of the vagina being thin, skin is fragile after so much radiation. Try not to imagine the worst, it could be something like I experienced. Tell your mum I'm thinking of her and wish her the best.

Good morning Lucie,

Many thanks for your kind reassurance.

I meant to say she was diagnosed in 2020, not 2000!

She has her telephone consultation today with her consultant so keeping everything crossed.

Thanks again :)

Good morning Laura,

Many thanks for your kind reply.

Your words are so reassuring that it might not neccessarily be a recurrence, which really puts my mind at ease. That would make sense re the bleeding and lining being thin!

I will certainly let my mum know you're thinking of her xxx 

Hi,

Good to know she is following up as she should. I also had a couple of CT scans and a PET scan after my treatment ended, just to make sure. I tried to look at it as a good thing, that if it was something, I could get it taken care of immediately. If it wasn't, I could move on. Let me know how things go.

Hello Laura,

Thanks so much for your message. My mum is being seen in a few weeks. I'm terrified the cancer is back and keep having a little cry. My mum says there's no point worrying before we know though, which is very true.
