Yes! After reading comments on the my empd facebook page, I realize that because of finding them, my results were way better than many. I returned for my post op on Feb. 13. He declared me cancer free. I return to see him in 4 months to see how I am doing, and then in 6. I do not mind going often as if it comes back ( and I feel like it won’t, but hearing the stories of others, I won’t be shocked), I can get him to get it. Pain is absolutely gone and has been. Initially, it stung when I peed, but he gave me Mupirisin ointment, and that did help. I did have 4 stages of Moh’s before he got all clear margins. He repaied with an artificial graft, and it hardly looks any different. I can answer yes I am able to be sexually active with my husband. The only difference was my nerves (think new bride), and things had tightened up. But no pain!
This was primary and non-invasive, so I must have gotten it early. But when I think of almost having a partial vulvectomy with no knowledge of the margins, I cringe. I almost went there! The Moh’s was not unbearable. They only used lidocaine & epinephrine, and I was wide awake, nervous, and running my mouth the entire time. I would do it again rather than general. Dr. Dany explained everything. Hope this helps!
My doctor is a very young man, but he is brilliant. The people working with him are wonderful, and I have added him to the “my empd” list of doctors. I highly recommend him! The link below is for his info.

This is so helpful in knowing what to ask I have 2 new Drs that I am seeing in March. If you think of anything else let me know. I am also finally up and running with my FB so I can get on the myempd.
