I hope everything goes well with you. Looks like this was in September? Mom is 91 and just diagnosed with Vulvar Melanoma, which Included a tumor high up on the vagina wall. Getting a pet scan on July 1. She thinking about no treatment. Can you tell me how it’s gone for you and how old you are. Thanks.

@dgboahn1 I noticed that you are new to Mayo Clinic Connect. Welcome and I hope we can helpful to you as we share our experiences and support.

A PET scan will provide your mother and her oncologist with the information she needs to make her decision on what she would like to do - treatment or no treatment. Do you go your mother's appointments with her?
