Totally shocked, only diagnosed with cancer of the vulva yesterday, had CT scan today and see the surgeon on Friday to discuss surgery. Hope it hasn’t spread. Hubby and I are finding it hard to process. I suffer from severe anxiety and need meds for that, all this isn’t helping.
Hi Ex Lancashire Lass and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I know how shocking receiving a cancer diagnosis can be and all the feelings you and your husband are experiencing are perfectly normal.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups, I'm going to recommend that you join and post in the vulva cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and tests into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
