Paget's Disease of the vulva

I would really like to chat with those whose life has been affected by this ' really rare', 'really rare where you've got it' and 'even more rare in your age group' blooming disease. I was diagnosed with this 4 1/2 years ago, and have had one operation. i am now facing my second which is going to be tough, with my recent biopsies 'unable to exclude cancerous changes'. Because of the rarity and where i have it i feel very isolated. It would be wonderful to talk with someone who faces the same scary future as me. x

    its rare but im sure im not the only person in the country who has it!!! never mind... onwards and upwards.... hope your treatment is going well. x

  • Linda,

    I'm glad you came back because after your first post I googled Pagets of the Vulva in an attempt to find out more and there is virtually no information available....

    Just a thought but is your surgeon able to put you in touch with anyone else that's gone through this? Or maybe your GP may be able to talk to other GP's or friends who are involved in the medical profession who may be aware of someone in the same boat....I can see that it would be really helpful for you to have contact with someone going through the same procedures and concerns.

    My thoughts are with you - let us know how you get on with your surgery
