I was also diagnosed with vulvar melanoma a week ago and have my first appt. at Mayo on Dec. 7th. From what I have read, surgery will come first, then chemo, then immunotherapy and lastly radiation. Are you at Mayo?
Let's share what happens at our appts. to see if the plan is similar. I am super anxious over this first appt. and the team concept as well. Was your vulvar cancer melanoma or squamous?

Im diagnosed with Pagets
Its a cancer that no one seems to have a treatment for except extraction which is surgery a long healing time. With most certain reoccurrence
There is a cream that may kill the cancer cells but it sounds pretty uncomfortable I go the Dr today. I will report back as after surgery 1 year ago I am pretty certain I have a reoccurrence. Hang in there glad you are at The Mayo
I may be headed there as the University of Washington is letting me down.
