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?

I am 7 months out from losing all external genitals to vulvar cancer; but feeling better every day after aggressive treatment. 6 all day chemotherapy sessions and 33 radiation sessions. First pet scan after treatment coming up in a few weeks. This has been the worst 7 months of my life, but, finally I am beginning to enjoy the normalcy of life. Unless you have been as far down as I have been, you don't appreciate and love normal. Life goes on. For now.
