  • Well that's good news!

    It could be your vagina. If that's very dry it can bleed a bit I read somewhere. Vaginal atrophy.

    The onc will sort you out I'm sure. I'll be having my annual blood test in a couple of months and will be very interested to see if my normally fine cholesterol has changed. K xox
  • @kmakm, got my ultrasound results and all clear and blood test are good, only my Cholesterol levels have gone up. I have never had problems with this. so I believe its medications, will try to look at my diet before I take any more medication...
    on 16th I see the oncologist
  • Good move. They'll get you sorted. My oncologist said to me last week that I was definitely post-menopausal from my blood test but that If I had any spotting I was to get in touch straight away. K xox
  • @kmakm I rang the oncology clinic and was advised to see my GP, so I have. She has sent me for Ultrasound on ovarires and lots of more blood test. waiting on results till next week.
  • I would get it checked and maybe @zoffiel may be able to comment.
  • Thank you @kmakm will ring oncology clinic tomorrow as my doctor doesn’t work tomorrow, might text margrath nurse. 
  • I think unexpected blood should always be checked out @delcar1964. For peace of mind if anything else. K xox
