Vulvar Cancer: Anyone else?

Cancer thrives on sugar. I’m doing a lot of naturopathic supplements and holistic cures in my battle. I would recommend for everyone to do some research on healing your body. Our bodies let us down once so we need to ‘beef up’ our health to keep it from reoccurring!

I went to Mayo on Dec. 6th as planned. Saw several surgeons on my team and had a pet scan. The second surgeon removed the tumor and some margins. Pet scan showed clear lymph nodes but biopsy showed invasive melanoma more than .5 mm in depth. I am having a wide radical valvectomy on Jan. 2nd and they are going to take sentinel node biopsy. My surgeon said that the pet scan is very good at detecting major melanoma in organs and lymph nodes but has difficulty catching microscopic melanoma in the lymph nodes and she wants to be sure. Immunotherapy will follow. If it is found in the lymph system, then radiation, chemo and immunotherapy. I will be at Mayo in Rochester.
