I just used AI to take one look at your situation and got this reponse:
"Even when vulvar cancer involves the vagina, treatment can still be curative, often using:
- Surgery (sometimes more limited than people fear)
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy combined with radiation

One important reassurance is that Vulvar cancer tends to spread locally and slowly compared to many other cancers. Vaginal involvement does not automatically mean late-stage or untreatable disease."

@inquirer: that was kind of you to offer support. AI can be helpful in finding out information but a word of caution here: aside from there being a difference between certain diagnoses - such as vulvar cancer and vulvar melanoma AI may contain bias from skewed data and cannot provide personal experiences that may offer encouragement from those who have successfully managed the condition.

I believe Mayo has some helpful insights into the role of AI in medical management. I’ll see if I can find that and add it into the discussion.
Great, found one: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/newsfeed-post/what-is-generative-ai-artificial-intelligence-what-does-this-mean-on-mayo-clinic-connect/
