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

God bless you! I was diagnosed with vulva cancer about 2-3 years ago. Thankfully it was caught in time. I went through the surgery with flying colors by a gynecological oncologist in my state. The surgery was radical, I had seven lymph nodes removed, all of which were negative for malignancy. I did not require any chemo or radiation. I have been cancer free since that time and am eternally grateful to my fantastic surgeon!!!!

Just got the pathology report (at my urging after 11 days): it is invasive squamous cell carcinoma, CD31 revealed no lymphovascular invasion. I think this was a surprise to everyone but me. As I always said, something that hurt that much HAD to be something, especially since the pain ended the day it was removed. Not clear from the report whether the margins are clear. Meet with surgeon in about a week. Well at least I know. I'm 73 and this happened fast. Was symptomatic from beginning of March on.
