Hi Talley,
God bless you that you survived your cancer diagnosis! At 65, About 5 years ago, I had a biopsy on my vulva...it was pre-cancer. Doctor did surgery to remove the affected area. From what I have read, vulva cancer is rare and usually affects women over 65. Two weeks ago, my OBGYN performed two biopsies on my vulva. There were two large lumps. I get the results on Thursday, 1/4. I'm extremely nervous because no doctor (I had CT scan, pelvic exams,, xrays....you name it, I had it done). The pelvic pain is so severe, I can't walk. I have an MRI scheduled for January 20th specifically for my pelvic area. I have always been healthy through my younger years up to my 50's. As I retired (I'm coming up on 70) All this health issues came up. As always, your OBGYN should be able to help you. I hope all works well for you and you are in my prayers. Keep in touch as I would like to know how you are doint.

Hi @blonde69, I've been thinking about you. How did the appointment go last week? What did you learn? How are you doing?

Keeping all of you in my prayers. I am 44 and was diagnosed last year with vulvar cancer. I had a partial radical vulvectomy, chemo, radiation (twice) as it traveled into the right groin lymph nodes. I’ve had a PET scan done and everything looks great except for affects from the radiation (cystitis). I’m trying to keep positive although this is a very rare cancer and it is very aggressive and likes to come back. So myself and doctors are monitoring it very closely.
