My tumor was too close to my urethra, so surgery was not an option. I had 33 radiation treatments and 5 out of 6 chemotherapy treatments. The chemo damaged my kidneys so I am left with Stage 3B kidney disease, and lymphedema. I finished treatment in July of 2025, so in essence I’m still recovering. I had HPV 30 years ago and had a total abdominal hysterectomy and naively thought it was gone, never to return. But almost 2 years ago, I noticed bleeding on my running shorts and then urinary incontinence. So after a few bad gyne appointments, I sought out Mayo.
