Opps! I am also dealing with diabetes . Now I know I should talk to my Dr. but I can't right now, and my husband is working.2nd shift. Have any of you older ladys experienced this ?

It is spotting ,not all the time, I guess I'm afraid, and We live in a small town no taxi , no bus, and the dr.s office is about 30 miles away.

For the last few weeks you have been dealing with discharge? Madam what excuse can you have for not talking to your doctor? It could be something minor or serious and being a cancer survivor, like you, I personally wouldn't want to wait too long with the hopes that the problem would go away by itself. Please contact your doctor and get it resolved as soon as possible.
That is NOT normal. My greatest fear would be the cancer has returned and spread. PLEASE FIND A WAY to the hospital or doctor. Call a cab, take a bus, ask a neighbor or a local shuttle service to get you there. DOnt worry about HOW to pay for it because the hospital can connect you to service to help pay for it. Your health is alyou have so please go.l
I'm sorry that you think you can not see your doc right now, but with your history of bladder cancer you should not let this go. this could be a sign of complications, such as another cancer going on in the urinary system. this isn't normal
