Vaginal Cancer

I have stage 3 vaginal cancer & am due to start radiotherapy & chemo next week. I had no symptoms until I thought I had IBS. This has all happened in the past 2 months. The tumour is really big & is pushing on my rectum, causing so much pain.

Has anyone else had anything similar? Many thanks

    With everything happening so quickly this must be a lot to take in, but you're not alone as many of our members have been through this and I'm sure you'll receive some support and advice from them soon.

    In the meantime, I just wanted to wish you good luck for next week.
