Thanks so much!

Hi Diamondjack,

I had this very same problem! I had vulva cancer in 2015. I had local wide excision with lymph node dissection. After healing I felt something still wasn’t right. There was skin covering my vagina. I saw a consultant last year and in November of last year I had corrective surgery. It was a quick surgery, a few snips and all done! I know it doesn’t sound appealing after everything you have been through but I’m healing nicely!
It is nice to hear someone else who has had vulva cancer. There’s not many of us! If you fancy a chat anytime let me know! 
Take care, Victoria x

Hi VictoriaM! 

at least I know I’m not going crazy now! That’s exactly what happened to me! I had no idea there was a small procedure that could be done before I came onto the site. Thank you thank you thank you! I’ve tried the dilators and they just don’t work it’s so uncomfortable. I’m going to set up a consult with my doctor and hopefully she can do a little snip snip for me as well! Hope you are doing well!

Hi! 
You most definitely aren’t going crazy! The things we have to deal with, eh?!  
Wishing you all the best! You’ve gone through the worst part so you will be fine!
