VIN 3

Hiya, you are most welcome anytime for a chat. I know how difficult it can be having been there myself. I'm glad I did the cream despite it being what seemed likes months and months!!! Hopefully they see you and get it sorted whichever you decide. My Gynaecologist said 4 weeks for surgery and he kept to his word unless it changes before hand!! I have read up that some certain medications can cause it but myself not taking anything I've not looked into it further. Thank you for your well wishes I will pop back on let you know how it goes. I wish you all the best in which decision you go with xx

Hello , I had the im Iquitos and can say it was extremely painful . I had to use it for 6 months 

when I say my consultant she was horrified and said that the cream is only licences to be used for no more than 6 weeks at a time 

the area felt like burning and we took progress photos which helped the consultant. Glad we did as for me I needed surgery . If I had to use it again then I would make sure I was signed off work for the duration. 

For me ( in my 50s) I wish they had done my surgery sooner .

I am just about to have my second surgery and won’t know if I have grafts until I awake 

Hi, Thank you for your input re Vin.  I have decided to have the operation as I am not confident to use the imiquimod cream.  I believe I will have to have skin flaps, which hopefully will be done at the same time.  I have an appointment on 2 May to see my Consultant and hopefully get the date for the operation.  I do hope your second surgery goes well and wish you all the best for the future.

I hope all goes well for you, do keep us posted ️ My surgery is getting closer and closer and I'm starting to feel a little nervous now.

Hi Emma, I wonder if you have had your surgery.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all is well.  I now have my appointment for surgery - 19th June!  I am already panicking a little bit as to the outcome of it all.  

Hiya, yes I had my surgery just over 2 weeks ago. I ended up having local anaesthetic which pleased me, all is healing well and I'm now back at work. It was no where near what I expected, and ended up with 12 stitches so wasn't as many as the consultant thought. I'm awaiting the results from the excisions, hopefully they have clear margins. I'm going back for a check up in 2 weeks. Thank you for thinking of me. 

That's not long away, you will be absolutely fine, your in safe hands, keep me updated how you get on xx

Hello , I’m doing well thankyou . It’s week 3 and everything is just starting to heal .

im still waiting for results - luckily no skin grafts but the did take 1 side of the inner labia away l.

Pshycoligically that’s bad enough never mind the weight for my results . 
I know I’d rather have things removed if it saves my life but it’s still hard .

Any news on your surgery? 

Hiya, I go back next Thursday for a follow up, my results are back but the receptionist said my consultant needs to do a full report so he may tell me next week if I don't them in the post before. I'm glad things are healing for you, yes it's the longest wait to get results ever !! I will have anything removed if it saves my life. Hope you hear something soon.
