A year on and still fighting

Hi, not been on for a while as things for me were going so well until yesterday,well ofcourse I've had my good days and my bad days and boy have I had too fight my body. Yesterday 5th March I had my year check up with my surgeon,I wasn't worried as I'd done so well since being diagnosed a year ago today with a rare form of vulva cancer. I'd had the surgery,got threw the recovery and blossomed back too the person I was. Turned out yesterday I have a lump in my left groin,I nearly died when my surgeon said it. It may just be a hair follicle which I'm being treated for,for 5 days with antibiotics,if its not then its back..Never knew that after vulva cancer if the tumour is removed like mine was it's more likely to reocurr in the groin. So praying that nasty horrible cancer is not back in me and its just a hair follicle. Not sure I have the strength too fight again. Feels like deja vu as before I was diagnosed a year ago for 18mths they treated me with antibiotics as thought I had a cyst not cancer..bit worried,got a 3 week wait till I see surgeon again

  • Praying with you Racheal, I know how it feels to go through it all and then have a recurrence (mine is ovarian).  I didn't think I could do it again but I did and so will you, if needs be, but I hope it doesn't come to that, of course.  Thinking of you and keeping everything crossed.
