I also was diagnosed with vulvar cancer in may 2023 stage 1b. No surgery. Radiation & chemo. 2 pet mri’s showed all clear. Still in fear! I have never felt the same below, is that normal now? No pain just feeling different! Skin still sensitive & irritated at times. Anyone else feel the same? Looking for answers. Thank you

I am experiencing the same....feeling different, sensitive and irritated at times. I think this is my new normal. I hope to be in a relationship with a man again at some point but I am not sure sex would ever be the same again. I feel mutilated down there.

May I please ask why you didn't have surgery? I am scheduled for surgery on December 20 but I absolutely do not want it. I am meeting with the Radiation Oncologist on Wednesday (December 11) to discuss options.
