@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 Colleen! Thank you so much! I don’t feel so alone in this and now know there is some hope in the outcome! They did pathology for it when we got the biopsy at my oncologist gynecologist visit when I went for the visit to see why I was bleeding and hoping it was a tear in the cuff. Then they biopsied me hoping it was the uterine. Then when we found out it was metastatic colon, sigh, we sent it out to Gardant for more testing to see if we could possibly have other cancer markers in addition to colon to see if another treatment could be a more aggressive battalion! I don’t know what the results of that are as of yet. So far we are doing radiation in the pelvic area in the location of the bleeding mass and if there are no other markers I am set to start folfiri chemo Friday after Christmas. They are moving so fast my head is spinning. Thank you for asking! I hope you have an amazing Christmas and bless you for organizing this support group. It helped get me thru the first round and hopefully the next. 🙂
