I have stage three Squamous cell vulvar cancer, so it has spread to my pelvic lymph nodes. First, I had surgery, but mine was very close to my urethra, making it difficult for achieving a large enough clean margin from surgery. My next step is half dose chemo and radiation to the lymph node areas and the vulva (which dictation always translates to Volvo. Even though this is such a serious conversation, thinking that I have Volvo cancer makes me chuckle).
I wish you well on your quest for answers and treatment possibilities. I’m willing to field any and all questions about what I am going through.

Please I have just been diagnosed with this squamous vulvar cancer. Can anyone say if chemo; protron radiation, anything can be dind to shrink it first? They want to do surgery first, Kersting it’s a really big surgery. Radiologist says “looks like it has spread to lymph nodes”. I’m ready to plan my funeral, so worried and don’t know anything about this, they just keep saying it’s a really big surgery??! They want me to talk to a plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist. Does anyone live through this surgery and can you walk after the surgery please please. I appreciate this so much. Thank you.
