Hello
My mum has been told her vulva cancer is inoperable. She has been having 5 weeks of chemo (once a week) and radiotherapy (5 days a week) treatment. She is in a lot of pain and is constantly being sick. Is anyone else in this position, and if yes, has the treatment helped?
It is awful watching someone you love be in so much pain, and not knowing if the treatment is giving her a chance or not.
Thank you
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that your mum has been diagnosed with vulva cancer and that she is struggling with pain and sickness. Has she spoken to the team that is treating her about this as they would want to be able to get on top of her pain and give her, or change, the anti sickness meds that she's currently on?

When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your mum's journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis.
