I had a radical vulvectomy with sentinel lymph node removal, on both the right and left sides, on September 11. My cancer is invasive. The lymph nodes on the right side showed positive on the PET scan before surgery. The testing of the nodes showed they could only be detected microscopically, however. Due to this, my oncologist said they wouldn’t do radiation now. I have a follow up appointment in December, and every three months going forward.
I know the waiting for your appointment is difficult. I don’t know what the protocol is in your case, but I’ll send good thoughts your way.
