@bunyipbaba hi…
Yes, it is Squamish cell carcinoma. I had 15 years of abnormal Pap smears with pre-cancer of HPV. It finally turned into cancer, unfortunately and is in the vagina walls I have or had a hysterectomy because of this and it came back unfortunately, I have to go in this Wednesday for a treatment plan at the radiology at Mayo Clinic. They did not give me a stage. They told me there was no stage.
Yes, I’ve been kind of down, but hoping that they caught it on time to where they can remove it. They may have to do a vaginectomy on me, but we will see.

@terriwright69 From the many stories I have read on this site, Mayo sounds like an excellent place to be treated. Of course you have been down after hearing this news. Whatever you and the doctors decide regarding treatment, please keep us updated on your choices and your progress. Being strong when facing cancer does not mean you are not scared. To me, it simply means you are processing the bad news and working through the fear to formulate a plan. I will be thinking of you and wishing you the best outcomes. Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can possibly help with your questions and concerns.
