Vulvar cancer and lymph node removal

Hi was diagnosed with VIN 3 in October. Had 2 biopsy,s no cancer shown. Had  wide lesion excision of the left side of my vulva in October.   Histology results show cancer I am now scheduled for a radical vulvectomy and bilateral lymph node removal later this month. I will be going to talk to the oncology surgeon performing the op. I don't know what to ask I just feel so numb 

  • Hi Mobile,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I am sure this must be a lot to process and no doubt things must be really difficult, so I hope you are getting on as OK as can be.

    Hopefully you'll get some more replies from others on the forum soon, particularly if others with similar experience see your post.

    You may also find it helpful to speak to our nurses, who can advise. If you'd like to do this, you can either post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, or you can call freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Make a note of any questions or concerns that you think of as you go along, then you can take these to the appointment to talk everything through.

    Wishing you all the best,
