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

@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?

Thanks for your reply. I saw the doctor filling in for my oncologist today. He removed the staples and drains from where they removed the lymph nodes. He also told me that my case is on the tumor board scheduled for next Tuesday, and I see my regular oncologist on Friday.
The waiting is difficult, but I feel so much better without the staples and drains that I’m doing ok. This whole experience has been tough. I lost my husband to lung cancer five years ago, so I know how bad things can be. Fortunately there has been no evidence of metastasis in my case, but I’ll feel much better once we have a path forward.
