What I wish I'd known, is that vaginal recurrence is the most common follow-on issue. I was told by someone in radiology that it was lung cancer mets. That's true if there is lymph nodes or vascular spread, and they don't really count vaginal recurrence as mets. I world have been much more pushy about the smell of my vagina if if have known that cancer cells can get there from a hysteroscopy or when the womb is pulled through the vagina on hysterectomy.

@carointheuk thank you … my sister read about the vaginal cuff recurrence and about COLPOSCOPY but they let me suffer for over a year and half before they scheduled a colposcopy after my sister asked about them. Women should have a colposcopy every 5 years after menopause - to screen for cancer.
