I have been dealing with the VIN111 for 2 years now and on February 1st my doctor told me it was cancer and I had to have a vulvectomy. I kept thinking to myself I am to young for all of this I just turned 30 this is not supposed to happen. I have 3 children all boy ages 9 months, 3years and 12 years. My first thought was what about my boys. I can't have surgery and be unable to help and take care of them. My husband assured me he could do it but I knew he would not be able to do it all. I had my surgery 6 days ago and I just can't do anything. It is painful, I have a part of the wound that is separating that I see the doctor about tomorrow. I am sad alot I feel like I am going to go crazy sitting in the bed. I want this to be over quickly.
