I have had a left radical left vulvatomy plus sentinel nodes removed which showed cancer
Then had the lymph nodes removed I had a scan before I had any surgery which they said that it was okay it was later that they found cancer in the lymph nodes all been treated by surgery alone
What I was wondering has anyone who has had this have to have any scans afterwards as I was thinking that as it was in the lymph nodes should I have had or be having scans to check that it hasn't gone anywhere my normal checks are not showing anything up so just wondering
Having had a different type of cancer I'm sorry but I don't know what the protocols are for vulva cancer follow-ups.
You could post this question in ask a nurse, and one of the specialist nurses will reply in 2 working days, or give your CNS a call and she should be able to help you further.
