I have squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva. The cancer was removed surgically, but pathology showed I am Stage 3, because I have cancer in a left lymph node and a clean margin was not achieved. So, I just started a plan of 6 low-dose Cisplatin chemo infusions and 33 sessions of radiation.

Hopefully, you will get answer soon.

@jade2026 I’d had several biopsies and radical surgeries with lymph node dissections from 1987 to 1992. The manufacturers of Accutane understood that clinical trials revealed diminished pre-cancerous lesions, but with no explanation. I talked them into sending samples to my gynecologist, and it successfully shrank and dried the area of recurring vulvar lesions. I also talked my gynecologist in to Interleukin 2 injections directly into the lesions. In 1992, a scientist from CDC was looking at immunotherapy for AIDS and fatigue syndromes. I talked him into considering reoccurring cancers..I was his lab-rat. Taking a portion of my frequent biopsies, he grew it, killed it, then added something to make it injectable into closest remaining lymph node. In our discussions, I suggested the existence of a (still unknown stem cell) basic from which our B and T cells originated. He was PHD Dr. Jim McCoy who later partnered on this research. He died suddenly after a symposium, and his partner went on to win recognition for the discovery. All of these methods kept me working comfortably until a brave surgeon heard about my case, and did a radicle wide excision, and it never returned. Getting away from a stressful environment helped, too.
