My mothers cancer has progressed and started to attack the main artery going into her leg. I would like to ask if anyone has had the same issue and what their outcome has been.
I am so sorry to hear that your mum's cancer has progressed and started to attack the main artery going into her leg. This must be a really stressful time for you and I hope that you will hear from other ladies here who have been affected by vulva cancer and that they will share their experience with you. I've had a look around our forum for other members who have been affected by vulva cancer and they could be great people for you to talk to. For example, there is this thread by [@Bray_14] who was diagnosed a few months ago and was looking to talk to others in a similar place and I also noticed [@haylzz] 's posts on the subject and throught she would be perhaps a great person for you to get in touch with. You can read [@haylzz]'s thread on this page and feel free to respond to it if you wish.
Our cancer nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you would like to talk about all this to them - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. I noticed you also posted in their topic area and they will respond to you in the next few days but you are also always welcome to give them a call.
I will now let our members who have perhaps also been affected by the same issue you mentioned come and say hello and share their story with you.
Like Lucie says I was diagnosed with Vulva cancer in October last year. I finished radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the end of August. Prior to that I had a total vulvectomy in February. The cancer spread into my lymph nodes but thankfully got no further than this. I can't really advise you on your mum's situation but I am here if you want to chat or if you have any questions. I hope you get the answers you are looking for. Xx
