I finished rectal cancer treatment 3 years ago but have recently discovered I have metastatic cancer in the wall of my vagina - it's about 3 cm big and was missed as it didn't show up in CT scans and I was repeatedly told it was a cyst. I am devastated as they have told me treatment isn't simple - I have Crohn's disease too and didn't cope well with chemo before. I am devastated. I know it would be good to think positively and just do whatever needs done but right now I feel utterly depressed (and terrified and negative) and finding it very hard to cope. I'm sorry to sound so negative. Any tips? I'll be seeing my team for their thoughts and plan suggestions this week.
