So I've been rummaging around in the multitude of gynecological cancer information on the internet....just been trying to find other vaginal cancer survivors, bloggers, etc.
I only found one related specifically to cancer that started as vaginal. If you're looking for someone who is dealing with cancer with an incredibly positive outlook, check out http://Confessions of a cancer patient. Daily diary of a woman diagnosed with a rare cancer.blogspot.com
Anyway, there is a ton of information out there about the connection between HPV and vaginal (and cervical) cancer. Interesting that no one mentioned this to me.....none of the many nurses, doctors or radiation specialists. Not one medical professional asked if I had been diagnosed with it, or suggested that I had gotten to this point because at some time I'd been exposed to or come to live with HPV. So for the record, no--I've never been told I had it. I've been married to the same guy for 25 years and neither of us have the time or the energy to be unfaithful. So if HPV is to blame, it is a stealthy, long lived and nasty bastard.
