Hello, I have been diagnosed with vin 3 again, first time at 21 and had wle to remove it, I’m now 33 and had a biopsy last year in another area that came back vin3 my oncologist suggested that maybe the biopsy removed the whole lesion because he couldnt see anything at the time, so he didn’t do any further treatment but I have been following up every 6 months with him. Anyway the spot he was hoping the biopsy cured is back a year later it’s very small but definitely recurring, my appointment is Monday, and it seems the only treatment my doctor suggests is nothing or surgery, I wish there was some other type of treatment . Just wanted all your opinions , is it always surgery as the only option? Thanks
Hi
I'm sorry to read that you have been diagnosed with a recurrence of the VIN3 you were treated for over 10 years ago and it's natural to want to know if there is more treatment choice now.
If you type 'VIN3 treatment' into the search bar in this group it brings up lots of previous posts on this topic which you could have a read through. I've also found this Macmillan information on treatment for VIN which might help you.
Wishing you all the best
