Vulva cancer

I have just been referred for a biopsy.  I have what looks like a dark brown mole on my inner labia.  It looks like a melonoma. Does anyone here have any experience of vulva melanoma? I am praying it's not cancerous because I read that vulva melanoma I'd the most aggressive and deadly vulva cancer. Unfortunately I also have the buzzing itchy feeling.  I have had this for about 6 months. Does anyone know how quickly it spreads if one has it?
