Vaginal Cancer

My mother went in for her annual in the beginning of the week.  3 days ago the Dr. called and said an abnormal cell came back and they needed to do a biopsy.  When she was my age, she had a complete hystorectomy due to cancer cells, and she's already had cervical cancer, and all that removed.  The Dr told her that most likely it's either nothing, or she has vaginal cancer.  Reading stuff online doesn't help all that much, and since she's already had everything removed, and vaginal cancer can spread to other organs such as your liver, colon, etc.  I was just wondering if anyone has had or knows anyone that has had this done?  Either put my mind at ease, or give me the worst?

my mother-in-law had the same...but for her, the hysterectomy worked and 15 years later she's still in remission...I'm so sorry you guys are going through this, I hope everything comes out clear and this was all a mis-reading :(. I think my Mother-in-law had one abnormal biopsy after her hysterectomy but it was due to some sort of infection....I'm not sure though. Good luck, my prayers are with you and your mom.

I am very sorry to hear this. My mom-in-law had the same issues and had to have a full hysterectomy. She survived her cancer and I pray your mom does as well if that is what is going on. I'm not certain but perhaps the abnormal readings are from something other than cancer?
