@kate14 My partner was just diagnosed with vulvar cancer (from lichen) Her oncologist surgically removed and reconstructed. We thought everything was fine but now he says lymph nodes should be removed. Not sure why… after he initially said surgery was a success!
Love your Doctor’s approach. Anywhere near CA? Also, did you have a lot of imaging?? Very concerned our gyno oncologist has not ordered any… no CT, PET, MRI … seems odd.

@pele13 nowhere near California. I had a Pat scan.

@pele13
Wouldn't operate in the UK without MRI and CT. Personally, I don't see how they can define what operation to do without that data. The only reason I could see is that the surgeon and the radiotherapy professions are entirely different.
