Squamous Cell Vulvar Cancer: Who out there has this cancer?

I have been dealing with a similar issue for almost two years now. Last year I was given so many antibiotics. They kept thinking it was just a infection. Mine is more in the higher area around the clitorris. It’s so painful. Having to wear lose pants all the time. Hurts to sit. I’m just feeling completely alone. I’ve been to my doctor so many times. He says this is the first time he’s seen this. He doesn’t think it’s cancer but I do. He did a small surgery thinking it was an infected cyst. That was in Nov. Everything seemed better until last week. I felt the same little bump/pebble and then a few days later it was inflamed and feeling like it was going to rupture. I’ve been sick for several days. My side hurts all the way around to my back. So glad to have found this group.

@crissyd This sounds just awful to me. You have a lot of pain and it sounds like your doctor isn't listening to or answering your questions. When the doctor thought the bump was a small infected cyst was the bump removed was it sent to pathology? If yes, what did the pathology report say? Any bump or really any tissue removed from your body should be sent to pathology for a diagnosis. There are many other diagnoses the cyst/bump could be.

Do you feel like you would like another opinion from a different doctor? Are there are other gynecologists where you live where you can make an appointment? The pain you are feeling from your side to your back is very real and disruption and could be related to the vulvar bump or could be something else. I can see how worried you are.

Will you get a different medical opinion?
