Hello, ladies.
I had my pelvic exenteration in June. 2005. I am doing OK I guess...I see my doctor every 3 months now. Has anyone who has had a pelvic exenteration recently doing OK? Has anyone had any problems or concerns since their sugery? I was lucky and only had to have part of my vagina and my bladder removed. It's going on 7 months now and I still don't know what to expect. My doctor hasn't told me what is normal and what isn't or what to expect. So now whenever I have any aches or pains, I start freaking out. I automatically think that my cancer has returned and has spread. Whenever I see my doctor, all she does is do a pelvic exam and maybe a pap smear. Not once has she suggested that I get a CT scan for follow up. So I'm wondering, how will she know if my cancer has come back or spread if she doesn't do a CT scan? I have so many questions.
