Hello and thank you for posting

It sounds like you've had and are still having a very difficult time and it's understandable that you may want to speak to someone who's been there with something similar. You may want to post in another part of the forum to get to a wider section of people but its possible that no one will have been in a similar situation to yourself. There is also the Anal Foundation www.analcancerfoundation.org/ which as it centres on one cancer, may also be of some help.

I do hope you have discussed this with your hospital team as it's important that they are aware of how bad the pain is. There are many different types of painkillers out there and sometimes it's a case of trial and error before you hit on the combination that works best for you. If the pain is not controlled, it may also be helpful to ask to be referred to the pain clinic or symptom control people who will try their best to get on top of this for you.

Please do give us a ring if you would like to go over any of this on Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

I do hope things will start settling down soon for you

All the best

Wanda

Hi there, 

Sorry to bother you but just wondered what your symptoms in the vulva are? I am due for my gynaecology appointment later today and I so scared that my symptoms I have been experiencing over the last year and a half are something sinister. Any information would be very much appreciated. 
 

Thanks
