Awaiting biopsy results at the moment because I have 3 ulcers and patches of red on one side of my vulva.
I've had vaginal cancer that had spread to vulva 2 years ago which was treated successfully thank goodness.
Obviously, I’m anxious about the results but the pain from these ulcers are horrendous and driving me mad.
I'm thinking it’s too painful to be cancer but really wish they would of tried creams for other vulva skin problems whilst waiting for biopsy results
Surely I can’t be that unlucky to have it again.
Anyone else had anything similar?
Hello Debz64
So sorry you are going through all that this worry again and awaiting biopsy results. I can imagine that the pain from the ulcers is awful. Are you bathing them with lukewarm water at all? That may ease them. I should ask your GP for some cream to help make you more comfortable. I was given steroid cream, which did help. I hope you don’t have to wait too long for your results as it is always so difficult to wait and worry.
sending hugs.
Hi
just been told my results are not back yet so will have to wait another week
i already have cream that takes the edge off but doesn’t last long they are now going to get me morphine so hopefully that should help x
Sorry your results aren’t back yet but glad you will be getting morphine to help with the pain. x
