Squamous Cell Vulvar Cancer: Who out there has this cancer?

I had a vulvar cancer and had surgery on late2022 and started 2023 with chemo and radiation. I can tell u that my skin is still very sensitive. Did u get some cream from your oncologist? Mine is a combination of Lidocaine & Silvadene cream. I don't use it all the time but it does help. Especially at my incision site. The toughest part for me is when I walk or sit, I feel it. Hard to forget you have\had cancer when you are reminded everytime you move. What stage was your cancer? I also had several lymph nodes removed. ♥️ Bobbi

My vulvar cancer was stage 1B. No surgery due to the size of the lesion (too big & I am very tiny down there).
I am reminded every day & worry if it will return! I have both lidocaine & silvadeen but don’t use very often. I was using a dilator which helped but not all the time .
I understand There are many late side effects so every time I feel something strange I wonder if it’s a side effect. I’ve developed hemorrhoids which I never had before! Could this be a late side effect ? I remember getting radiation they were careful about getting close to the bowels! Anyway it’s comforting to share our stories! Any advise?
