Hi

Please don't be embarrassed. Are these lumps in your vaginal area or on your vulva? How long have you had them?

Xx

I noticed them a few weeks ago, the itching I have had for a few months, that comes and goes but when it comes, it comes with a vengeance. The lumps are near the vulva

when in doubt, check it out lovely.   wont do any harm getting the gp to have a look x

Thank you, that's what I am planning to do first thing Monday 

Hi

I agree with Dani....get an appointment with your GP. I suffered with intense itching as well....there were times when I could of happily scratched my skin clean off it was that bad.

Thank god it's not just me, that is a polite way to put it, I could definitely do that when the itch comes, it is so intense. What symptoms did you have when you found out about your cancer? 

I had broken, ulcerated skin pretty much all over my vulva. It itched and often bled a small amount as well. I was seeing a gynae consultant every 6 months because I've always had pre-cancerous changes on my cervix and the wall of my vagina. I had some biopsies done in September last year which showed that the majority were VIN 3 (pre-cancerous) but a large ulcerated area was cancer.

Oh I am so sorry, that must have been scary, I can't see anything other than the lumps, all I can do is see my GP then take things from there. How are you now? X

I've just finished radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I'm still getting a few side effects from the radiotherapy but I'm not too bad and I know I could feel a lot worse!

There are lot's of different reasons for lumps on the vulva so try not to think the worst....although I know that's not easy. 

I'm here if you have any questions or want to talk. Xx
