Suspected vulva cancer

Hi

I had a 2ww referral for suspected cancer of vulva. I have an appointment on Monday and wanted to know what investigations to expect 

I saw the GP with vaginal dryness, post coital watery bleeding she noticed four lumps in the labia on examination and I have lymph nodes in my groin. I also had an admission to hospital six weeks ago to explore numbness in the vaginal area that has been intermittent since. 

I would be really grateful if anyone could tell me what they do in the clinic.

thank you 

  • Hi Karen

    I'm sorry you're going through a tough time. I imagine that at some point they will take some biopsies from the affected area. I had mine taken under general anaesthetic (just as a day case) so they might just have a look on Monday and maybe have a feel of your groin area for the lymph nodes.

    Let us know how you go on or if you have any other questions.

    Xx
