my mother has kept a secret from us for the last six months that she’s had worrying symptoms which today has been diagnosed as vaginal cancer. She’s been seeing her GP all along but only when she insisted that she needed a scan of some sort, did she get one. The scan lead to a biopsy and today they confirmed it’s a rare form of cancer. She has an appointment tomorrow with the oncologist when they will do more tests to establish if it’s primary or secondary.
ive read that vaginal cancer has no symptoms until it’s quite advanced. I’m angry that for six months, her GP hasn’t sent her for investigations. The same GP diagnosed Lower back muscle pain when in fact she had a broken hip for nearly a year. I’m so angry and worried.
