Rare cancer: I have malignant melanoma vulva cancer

Hello all , new to all this so am sorry if title is wrong!! 

The last 18mths ive been going through a rare cancer diagnosis doing it alone . I have malignant melanoma vulva cancer , and was wondering if any other females have or going through the same ? 

Currently just started using Imiquimod cream and as a whole wondering how bad it can get with pain and general skin breakfown. 

Had a big meltdown and am only week one into 6week course

In a lot of discomfort even doing basic things . . 

Any advice on how to cope with being able to continue to work , coping with pain and mentally staying strong? 

Thank you 

Jensa

  • Hi jensa, firstly so sorry you’re going through this. Have you had any surgery at all? I am due to start on Aldara next month following my 4th WLE. I’m interested to know about your experience of the Imiquimod treatment.. sounds tough going. Hope things improve soon for you.
