Urethral cancer
Hi, I'm 40 year old female and was diagnosed with urethral cancer last week. I've had symptoms for a longer time, mainly blood in urine and there have been sings of possibly cancerous cells in my urine samples but all the further tests has come out clean, until now. Cancer has now spread to my bladder.
Because of the location of the main mass of the cancer my only option is a surgery to remove my urethra and bladder alongside with my uterus, ovaries and part of my vagina. They will also do a vaginal reconstruction but i'm told to expect permanent nerve damage.
Is there anyone else who has experience with this or is going through something similar? All the material I got from the hospital is written for older men, without a single word about someone with female anatomy, so I'm kind of lost here.
