Thank you, Helen. My mom's oncologist is at City of Hope, and they treat her very well. She has always felt cared for by him. He was the one who ordered the CT scan right away. I took her for the scan on Friday, and her follow-up appointment with him is scheduled for April 17th. My mom was frightened, but I tried to encourage her and help her remain positive.
She used the vaginal cream for a week, and the last day she used it is when she noticed the bleeding.
Her oncologist also referred her to a local lab for a urine analysis, which showed no bacteria and no infection. However, she continues to experience discomfort and lower pelvic pain. A gynecologist from City of Hope will see her as well, but we haven’t received an appointment for that yet.
Thank you for the recommendations; I truly appreciate your help. Take care.

@angierivas1 It's reassuring your mother continues at City of Hope with her same oncologist and that she feels comfortable with him. Hopefully when she sees her oncologist they can talk together about the vaginal cream and whether or not to continue with that. Also, hoping that the City of Hope gynecologist sees your mother soon.
As I look back at my own cancer journey I also think of what I could have done differently. I wish I had gone to Mayo Clinic at the onset of the vaginal bleeding instead of the local gynecologist. But we cannot change what's already happened in the past. We can try to make our choices now and in the future based on what we've already experienced. Isn't this how you knew to get your mother to be seen right away because of your own cancer journey and that of your younger sister?
