Help!!

Have just found out that I have a cancerous lump near to my clitoris. Surgeon wants to remove everything including lymph nodes in my thighs. I will not agree to having lymph nodes removed and am unsure about the rest. Will I be able to have enjoyable sex? Are there any alternatives?

  • Welcome to the forum Xquisite although I'm sorry to hear about the cancerous lump that has been found.

    I hope this information we have about living with vulval cancer will be useful but if you'd like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're really easy to talk and will do all they can to support you and address any other questions and/or concerns you have about your diagnosis and what your surgeon has suggested.

    I know this must be an incredibly difficult and stressful time but I'm really glad you've managed to connect with others within the community who are also on this journey and I hope their support and advice is helping at this time.

    We're thinking of you Xquisite and wishing you all the best on this journey.

    Kind regards,
