Hi I haven’t been on here for a while.
I was diognosed with vulva cancer July 2019 at the age of 47 I had a vulvectomy and also lymph node removal in my groin area. I then noticed a lump in my groin a couple of months later which turned out to be a cancerous lymph node so had that removed . I completed 25 seasons of radio therapy and chemo once a week for five weeks. In May 20 I developed lymphangitis which was so painful and made me feel so sick since then I have had it two more times so In 6 months I have had this 3 times !! I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this at all I had literally returned to work for 3 days after being off from treatment and furlough and now just recovering from Lymphangitis/ cellulitis again . It really gets me down as I was feeling amazing and so full of energy .
Hi
I'm sorry to read that you developed lymphangitis which has recurred twice.
Although I don't have any personal experience with this I noticed that your post hadn't had any responses yet. I didn't get any success typing 'lymphangitis' into the search bar in this group but did when I typed in 'cellulitis'. You could try this and have a read through the posts to see if they are helpful.
Have you spoken to your CNS about the lymphangitis as she may be able to help?
