Vulvar cancer 7 years ago....

Racheal
Offline

So 7 years ago I was diagnosed with vulvar cancer a rare cancer for my age,I beat it and have fought the after affects but always won. Was always told I was high risk of it coming back due too the rareity but as years went by I thought I'd done it that was until today.....a normal check up with my gynecology surgeon turned into my worst nightmare a lump found in my groin,the look of concern on her face so scared me and then her words "I've found a lump" we need too get you a CT scan which I'll push as an emergency and I want you back here in 3 weeks time....I didn't know wether too laugh,cry or be sick 

After 7 years of constantly fighting my body I'm tired I'm so tired 

  • I'm so sorry to hear about the lump that's been found in your groin Racheal. After everything you've been through, it's completely understandable, and natural, to be left reeling by this news.

    So many of our members who have faced the possibility of their cancers returning, as well as the exhausting mental and physical battle that can come with living with the after effects of treatment, will really understand what you're going through at the moment so you are not alone, and hopefully you won't have to wait too long to receive some support and advice.

    If you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, do be sure to give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to support you during this very tough and anxious wait.

    We're here for you Racheal and will have everything crossed for a good outcome.

    Kind regards,

    Hi 

    Oh I'm so sorry too hear this,and hope it all goes well. I only had vulvar cancer and it was caught in the early stages. I had surgery. I wasn't given chemo or radiotherapy as my case was complicate due too my age at the time and the high risk of it returning in the groin. So I'm praying the lump that's been found is just too do with the burtist

    Wish you all the best with your treatment xx
