In October 2012 I had a full hysteroctomy for womb cancer. I was told it was Stage 1, Grade 1 and no further treatment required.

I had medical insurance so all was carried out privately and I attended checkups every 3 - 6 months but I never had a scan in the 5 years that followed.

I started having bladder problems and vaginal pain in 2013 and advised my consultant about it.  Last year  in July I had to give up the health insurance as I could no longer afford it but I still went privately to my consultant for my 6 month check up. When I saw him in August he arranged for me to see a urologist and I got an appointment with her in November. On examining me she red flagged me for a hospital appointment.

I was given a bioposy were it was discovered I had vaginal cancer a recurrence od my previous cancer and was rold it was from cells left from my previous cancer.

I had treatment of Chemo/radiation and Brachytherapy and thankfully got the all clear when I got my scan 8 weeks after treatment finished.

I did suffer very bad nerve damage, horrible vagina and vulva pain, numbness in my legs and spent a week in hospital while a wonderful doctor sorted me out with drugs to control the pain.

I currently take MST morphine, Pregablin, Oral Morph and ketamine to keep the pain at bay.

However, for the past lot of months I have blood in my urine quite frequently. Oncologist sent me for a full CT scan in August and all was clear apart from a surgical clip they saw that was left from my hysteroctomy.

I still have this blood in my urine 9 months after treatment finished and my own GP thinks it could be an after effect of the Radio.

Anyone else experience this?
