Recurrance of uterine cancer in the vaginal cuff

Posted by jeanadair123 @jeanadair123, Feb 3, 2019

I had the above and had external radiation in my vagina and brachytherapy. I wondered if anyone has had severe effects of the radiation in their rectum?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Gynecologic Cancers Support Group.

@zhang73. I read and responded to the Discussion you started on your recent diagnosis and surgery. I agree with @cookercooker that it's best to discuss any and all treatments with your oncologist. We as members of this support group are sharing our own experiences but it's important not to interpret these as medical recommendations. If you are doubting or feel confused by your oncologist's recommendations it might be good to get an opinion from another oncologist.

Where are you located and where are you getting your treatment? If you would like a second opinion from Mayo Clinic you can request it yourself or ask your doctor to request it for you.
