I was stage IV colon cancer that hard spread to vagina cuff among several other areas. I was referred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester ,MN. I am now 3+ years in remission. I am not back to normal and I may never be; but glad to be alive and getting stronger each day and staying positive. You’ve got this. Keep fighting.

@myjiggers1, I hope you saw the post from @twin71 who also has experience with colon cancer spreading to the vaginal cuff. Twin71, your 3+ years of remission gives hope!

Myjiggers, have you had further testing done to confirm if the cancer on the vaginal cuff is indeed metastatic colon cancer or a new primary cancer? How are you doing?

Hi twin71!

So glad to hear you are 3+ strong! That does give me hope! May I ask what your regimen was? They are going to hit me with radiation down there to stop the bleeding. Then Folfiri I think as chemo. They found some lymph nodes in the surrounding pelvic region affected and a part of my left abdominal wall. Was your initial colon cancer on the right side as well? Its not in my blood or bones or major organs yet so I am grateful for that. 😍 Thank you so much for reaching out!!!
