Wishing you much luck with the Aldara. Yes please keep me posted. I’m not sure I mentioned but I thought I had LS for 10 years (and maybe it was LS) which I treated with the clob but lo and behold it became or always was EMPD. I’m thinking to go on Aldara for just one area. How are you tolerating it?

@nomikins - Hi! The Imiquimod (Aldara) has had no burning impact for me, which is surprising but I guess not unique. It did make me wonder if it is/was working. I will try to see what I can see on visual inspection (it is difficult to do this, in my experience), but I sure hope it is working! I have the follow-up appt w/m oncologist in early Sept, at which point that'll be 2 months of Imiquimod application.

Also, appreciate your mentioning your experience with EMPD. I think I will mention this to my gyne-oncologist. May I ask how it was diagnosed? I'm guessing it was a biopsy with the lab assessing the cellular structure and type/s.

Geez! As far as the Aldara then, if your gyne-oncol recommends it, absolutely go for it, and I hope it will be effective for you. Is there anything else you have to be concerned with when being diagnosed w/EMPD?

Best to you, and keep posting, as you can.
