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?

Mine was stage 3 and the tumor\mass was bigger than they thought ...it was the size of a grapefruit. The best advice I have is it takes time to heal long after treatment ends. Your skin where u received radiation may never be the same again. It is great that u didn't have to do surgery. I feel like I will never have a sexual relationship again. I had pelvic PT which helped a lot . But I am very thankful to be in remission now.
