Vulvar Cancer: Anyone else?

Posted by ali1974 @ali1974, Nov 12, 2020

Hello:
I have posted on other discussion group about my struggle with my health, previous cancer stories and concerns for my genetic history. I can’t seem to get a break. I just had a biopsy today to rule out vulvar cancer. I honestly didn’t even know there was such a thing. Has anyone been diagnosed with this and is it more common than what I have been reading?
I am BRCA2 and MSH6 positive. 2 time breast cancer and ovarian cancer survivor I have lived a drug and alcohol free life it just doesn’t end!

Hi Tally,
Welcome! I was diagnosed with vulvar cancer in April 2018. The first thing the gynecologist did after the exam was a biopsy. She then sent me to an oncologist/gynecologist. After meeting with the specialist we decided on a treatment plan. It may be helpful to see if you have a oncologist/gyn in your area. The best of luck. Let us know how you’re doing.

Hi, I had 8 sessions of chemo and 35 of radiation. I did what the doctors and nurses said to do and asked a lot of questions. They are there to help you through this journey so don’t hesitate to bring up any concerns you have. Chemo was very easy for me. Yes, I did loose my hair and eyelashes and eyebrows but it has all grown back. For a time your life will seem like a never ending medical appointment and pretty defeating. Try to remember this all to get you cancer free.
I am extremely grateful that I am now 7 years cancer free and a survivor!
The best of luck to you and reach out to this group with any and all questions or concerns
