I to had(have) Lichen sclerosus for a few years B4 I was diagnosed with stage 3 Vulvar cancer. I had surgery last November followed by 6 weeks of radiation and chemo. I am still healing. I am glad to know I am not alone but sad to know others are suffering too.

I also was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis a few years ago but do not remember the doctor telling me, if she did, about the vulvar cancer risk. She moved her office too far for me to go and I did not try to find another gynecologist. When you are 80+ years old, you are told you are too old for mammograms, colonoscopies, etc., and it is not easy to find a gynecologist who will take you as a patient. I now have Stage 3 vulvar cancer and 6 weeks of radiation is recommended. What was your experience with the radiation?
