Is It Possible For A Woman To Pass A Tumor From Vagina?
A friend recently told me his dying wife passed a 5 lb bloody tumor from her vaginal area a few days before she died....is this possible? He cut a piece from it and sent it to her doctor...but he just said it was "cancer" and didn't send it to a lab. What could this really be and how do you pass a tumor?

hi.
you don't just "pass" a tumor. a lesion or a part of it might be removed incidentally or accidentally, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you've removed the cancer already if it is indeed a cancer tumor. you could only identify the nature (if it's cancer or not) of that lesion thru a tissue diagnosis/ biopsy. if it's indeed cancer, an adequate medical and surgical assessment prior to management and removal will be done accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
