Been there. All I can suggest is to get medical treatment from a cancer facility that specializes in this. I was amazed at how many "cottage" hospitals are not versed in the latest treatments, or don't know it when they see it. I hope this will be possible for you
Hi @gabi7604, getting a diagnosis of vulva cancer (any cancer actually) throws you into a strange space. It's like entering a foreign world where you don't know the language and no one gave you a map or GPS.
Let me assure you that you are not alone. There are women here like @bobette1 @brandysparks @bijou68 @silverangels @scm @ladee @dignity @yolanda1954 @caddo @wilted @pam6426 @vickiehane and others who have walked this path before you and are ready to guide you, answer questions or just be that virtual hand.
Gabi, it sounds like your diagnosis also may involve some of the surrounding lymph nodes. What have you learned about your diagnosis and treatment options so far?
