Do I Need To Worry About Vaginal Spotting After Brachytheraphy For Uterine Cancer?
I was diagnosed july 2013 and had surgery, chemo and brachytherapy for uterine cancer which was clear cell and adenocarcinoma. Treatment was complete on Nov 19, 2013. yesterday had some spotting and wondered how worried should I be. Went in to doctor and had pap, and CA125. I was diagnosed at stage Ia.
Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. But vaginal spotting can be the early symptom of local recurrence. You had completed your chemotherapy since November 2013. So not on any treatment since 12 months. This duration is sufficient enough to produce recurrence at local site. So wait for CA125 and PAP smear result. You may need CT abdomen and PET scan to rule out local recurrence.
