Hi I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina in November 2017 - I underwent radical chemo- radiotherapy in December 2017 for 6 weeks.I am now 6 weeks post treatment and improving every day it would be nice to talk to people that have perhaps gone through the same thing as I am finding it very hard at the moment to be ale to discuss how I am feeling

Hi,

Try the Macmillan site,there is a Vaginal Cancer forum there that you may find helpful and no doubt be able to talk with others who have gone through the same thing. It’s always helpful to talk through things with like minded people. I went through Vulva Cancer so I can understand how daunting this may feel for you,wishing you well xx

Hi thanks for replying I am registered on the Macmillan site but have found on the vaginal chat that there isn’t many people on there to talk to so I was looking on google and found this site x

Hi,

There are Facebook support groups. Mostly Americans but some uk ladies on there and with vagina cancer.

I started my own UK only group but unfortunately Macmillan forum won’t let me tell others. If interested message me x

Hi,

My mum is going through something similar now. Have you successfully completed your treatment now?
