OMG! This is the perfect example of why it's important to advocate for ourselves. It was logical, simply common sense, for doctors to examine your vaginal area yet you still had to fight for it (and save your own life!). For my hystorectomy, I fought for open surgery. Had to travel distances and even fly from California to New York to find oncologists who would do it. After the surgery, the surgeon said it was a good thing I insisted on open surgery because if they had done it robotically, the cancer likely would have spilled into my abdomen. We must continue to follow our instincts and go with our gutt feelings. Thank you, for that story.

Thank you for yours also.
I find I am constantly exhausted from dealing with this, I have had cancer 3 times, uterus, recurrence vaginal cuff and breast. My husband has has prostrate, recurrence twice currently going through it again and lung cancer. But we manage to keep fighting on. My friends don’t understand that I think about C they should live a day in my life. Amazingly though we are both healthy. Although my husband has the beginning of MCI. I just live one day at a time and we enjoy each other and life.
