Hello Jo87,
Oh I am so sorry to hear that after having had cervical cancer three times you are now awaiting to have further tests for vulva cancer. We have some detailed information on our website on getting diagnosed with vulva cancer which you can find here. You will also find out more about tests to diagnose this particular cancer on this page.
I hope it won't take too long for you to have the appointments for the tests and the results as the wait can be so difficult to deal with as many of our members will know only too well. If this is affecting your sleep and causing you to be really tired, it might be worth talking to your doctor about it and seeing whether there is anything they can suggest to help you feel better while waiting for these results.
Feel free also to give our lovely nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
Do keep in touch if you can and let us know how things go for you - we'll be keeping everything crossed for your results!
Best wishes,
Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
Hello Jo87; poor you for possibly having to go into the fight again. You must be strong (I bet you don't feel it though) to have won the fight thus far. Tell us a bit about yourself (only if you wish to do so of course); I hope you have good family and friends to support you through this. Annie
