Living with vaginal cancer

Coping with vaginal cancer can be difficult. Help and support are available. There are things you can do and people to help you.

Vaginal cancer treatment can have an effect on your sex life and relationships. Knowing what to expect and talking things over can be helpful.

You might need to have an operation to create a stoma (an opening in the tummy created during surgery). You may have this if your cancer has spread to your bowel or bladder.

There are organisations, support groups and helpful resources to help you cope with vaginal cancer and its treatment.
