just got diagnosed and kind of feel I'm not getting all the info as they said nothing wrong with my kidneys and bladder but there were two cysts on my renal scan i was not told about and a lot of white cells in my urine with no bacteria or other signs of infection. I have to say I'm a little scared! thanks for listening

Hi @wearkitty, kidney cysts are fairly common and they may not be related to your cancer diagnosis. But still, you want to have confidence in your cancer team and know that they are doing the right thing. I recommend that you ask questions to get a full understanding. Your questions are good ones. You might wish to ask:
- What does the cyst on my renal scan mean?
- How will it be monitored?
- Does it need to be removed?
- Why is my white blood cell count high as indicated in the urine sample?
- How is this monitored?

Kitty, back to your diagnosis of vulvar cancer. What do you know about your diagnosis so far? Do you know what stage it is? Do you have a treatment plan?
