I am so sorry you have gone through so much. I have had Lichen Sclerosis for years and recently had a biopsy and was diagnosed with non-mammary paget disease of the vulva. Seeing a gynocological oncologist. He said he does not want to remove as it just comes back. I get that but frustrated with credible information on best treatment options such as the Immiquimod cream. After performing an assessment the dr. found another area that he "didn't like at all ". So now I have surgery scheduled to remove that area that was not biopsied. Very frustrated 🙁
Did you have any testing for underlying cancer?

@aprills, I can understand your frustration. It's important to have confidence in your team and the recommended treatment. Keep asking question to understand why and to feel comfortable with the plan. There are too many "what ifs" in life.

Is getting a second opinion an option for you?
