Good news, bad news from my oncologist. The lymph nodes that were removed showed cancer but only at the microscopic level. All the margins tested negative so by doing a radical vulvectomy they removed all the cancer cells in/on the vulva. Due to these findings, I will not have to have radiation at this time. Yay! However, it could reappear in the future. The doctor said I will have to be monitored every three months going forward.

The healing is going well. Still having some pain/discomfort when sitting for a while. Still am not able to lift over 5 pounds or do any strenuous activities. Trying to get my energy level back up to where it was. Finding I need a nap every day now.

I have an appointment in December for a follow up with the oncologist.

Hope you ladies are doing well.
