I was just diagnosed with squamous cell cacinova of the vulva ( about 2% get this) I found a growth and noone thought anything of it. That is until I found a good doctor and they did a biopsy.. . and so I await the next phase. I'm having a hard time waiting around. If I can help I'll know more on Fri. July 14th and will probably end of knowing more than I wanted to. Deb [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I have added you to our Gyn-Gal site. I am sorry we have had some technical issues... Vulva cancer is rare but unfortunately vulva dysplasia is becoming more common. There is no standard screening for vulva HPV and most often we bring little bumps and discoloration to our doctor’s attention. I know the gals on the private Gyn-Gals site can help you with all the emotional issues you are now facing. This is also an open invitation to any gal who would like the join us on the private site...no spam and no junk posts www.gyn-gals.org I will clean this site up as soon as I get a minute... Sorry... Hugs Myra

If I can be of any help just ask. When I was searching the I-net for info on a radical vulvectomy most of the information I found was outdated. Most of the old techniques and patient experiences were quite scary. I found the real experience to be dramatically different than anything I had read. Much better! Hopefully, you may only need "minor' surgery. Although, I have found any surgery in the vulva area mentally distressing, usually when I checked for healing and to make sure no infections. If you need any information, please stay in contact with the gyno gals or contact me by my e-mail. I wish i had found this site earlier than just a couple of months ago. It has lots of information. Myra is an incredible source of information. I find the more information I know the better I feel. Also, having information before visiting your doctor is a great help. Your doctor is more likely to realize you are an informed patient then provide you with more information. Hugs, Joan
