Welcome to the club. I too had vulvar cancer. I was able to have a biopsy done in a matter of days. I am so sorry they can't do it without surgery. One thing that I didn't realize until later while I waited for surgery, is that I should have stayed away from sugar. I craved it and ate it and my tumor was huge on the outside by the time I had my surgery. Wishing u the best of luck. How are u feeling otherwise? It is still fresh in my mind ...I had surgery last November and then did 6 weeks of chemo and radiation that I just finished in March. I'm beginning to feel like myself again. Please keep in touch and let us know how things are going.

I, too have been diagnosed with vulvar melanoma and will be going to Mayo on Dec. 6th to see a gynecologic oncologist. What does sugar have to do with the size of the tumor being removed? I always crave sugar but did not have knowledge that it would increase the tumor?

I go from feeling calm and resigned to total panic. Not knowing is pretty nerve wracking because my life could change completely once I get the results in. Thank you for sharing. I get home from everyone who has come out on the other side of their diagnosis.
