Vulvar Cancer: Anyone else?

Posted by ali1974 @ali1974, Nov 12, 2020

Hello:
I have posted on other discussion group about my struggle with my health, previous cancer stories and concerns for my genetic history. I can’t seem to get a break. I just had a biopsy today to rule out vulvar cancer. I honestly didn’t even know there was such a thing. Has anyone been diagnosed with this and is it more common than what I have been reading?
I am BRCA2 and MSH6 positive. 2 time breast cancer and ovarian cancer survivor I have lived a drug and alcohol free life it just doesn’t end!

Thank you for responding!
I will be 69 in October.
Do you have EMPD or did you have vulvar cancer?
Were you using anything over the counter?
Thankfully my husband is very understanding & patient! No sex. The thought of it is even painful!

I do have EMPD. I tried over the counter before I was diagnosed. I also would like to recommend that you buy a Bidet
It definitely helps to be able to rinse because urine definitely makes the area worse. Please stay in touch
It helps to hear from others. I have an appointment on Tuesday to see my Oncologist
