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

Hi all. I had surgery two weeks ago to remove two areas of vulvar squamous carcinoma. They also removed lymph nodes and found no cancer in them, which is good news, but the pathology report showed differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia in the margins of one area, so they are still not sure about whether I will need radiation. They need to bring the case up at their tumor board and my oncologist’s wife has a baby last week, so things have been a bit delayed. I see the doctor filling in for him tomorrow, so hopefully I will have more info then.

@mezzojo Getting a diagnosis of cancer is frightening and then waiting for the pathology report is equally so. How are you feeling about all of that since your surgery two weeks ago.

It’s very encouraging that your results will be discussed at tumor board. Your oncologist can then get the recommendations from other medical professionals where they will discuss and come up with the best path forward for you.

Is your appointment today with the doctor who is filling in? I’m thinking that this doctor will do a physical exam to make sure you are healing as expected. I’m also hopeful that he will be able to provide you with more information or at least the status on the tumor board discussion.

I’m sending you positive energy from afar. Would you please come back here and let me know how your appointment goes today?
