I was diagnosed yesterday by letter - a bit of a shock as the consultant had said she didn’t think it was cancer. The results of the biopsy showed basal cell carcinoma. Anyone else had this cancer? I’d be thankful for some advice.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been given the news that you have vulval cancer. It's understandable that it was a shock particularly as you've said that the Consultant didn't initially think that it was. I hope that the letter you received has either given you the date for an appointment with your Consultant or the contact number for a cancer nurse specialist that you can contact for advice and support.
We do have information on our website about vulval cancer that you may find helpful. We have a few ladies who have been through treatment for this cancer on the forum. I'm going to tag in haylzz in my reply here. You can read a little bit about her story by clicking on her name and hopefully, she may pop along to say hello.
We also have a team of nurses that you can call to talk with if you think that may help at any point. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can.
Hopefully, over the coming days, you will have some more information from your specialist and they will be able to give you some reassurance as well.
