Vulvar Cancer: Anyone else?

Hi Melinda,

I don’t know if a kneeling ergonomic chair could be helpful. If you are spending up to $200, you may want to consider buying a bidet type toilet seat that replaces your toilet seat and you can run water to the area while urinating. This helps relieve any burning sensation. I know there are many options to choose from that run reasonably priced to high end. We bought a washlet made by TOTO at Costco that works really well. The heated seats require an electric outlet close by and are easy to tap into the water line. There are less expensive types that do not need electricity however the water is cold which can also be soothing.

No one wants cancer and to have it on your vulva is pretty frightening for so many reasons. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions. I live in San Francisco and was a cancer volunteer at UCSF (University of California, San Francisco) for many years.

Thank you Tilli!! i ordered a chair on ebay free shipping and it was 50 dollars new. There were a lot to choose from. Wood, classic design. I can McGyver the angle if i think it will help and even hollow out a hole if i need to. My friend's husband had prostate surgery five years ago and really liked the cushion from cushionyourassets.com
It's unique. Two long pads that you an adjust the width of the space between.
I would like to reach out to you. I'm in Redding but will receive treatment in Sacramento in a couple weeks. Supposed to have a good outcome but brutal treatment. That's what i've focused on but now with this sharing platform i'm reading about lingering pain, neuropathy, etc. That's very scary. And the more i read is more scary. Mine went undiagnosed for a year.
