Hi Melinda,
I have such a fear of the unknown and once I started treatment it became easier. What you read is not necessarily what will happen to you. I was all prepared for neuropathy and purchased items that would keep my hands and feet cold. I think I used them once during chemo and gave up on them. Turns out I didn’t get neuropathy anyway but, not saying that you may get it. I just saw my radiologist oncologist today for some issues I am having. She is a wonderful doctor and very caring. I know she is looking out for me and doing everything she can to help me recover. Having a doctor that relates to you is very important and being able to find someone to talk to about your anxieties is a huge help. I can relate to your anxiety and since vulvar cancer is considered rare there is not a lot of information available.

I had breast cancer 25 years ago and began volunteering as peer support. It then lead to volunteering in a cancer center talking to current cancer patients up until COVID. I stopped when I got vulvar cancer focusing on myself. I would be very happy to speak with you. Not sure how we can connect but i think it easier to talk via phone but not sure how we can accomplish that. If that interests you, we can try to work something out. We can also still communicate via this website. You are not alone.
