So distressed I’ve been going to the GP for 9 months with concerns regarding my peri anal region. I got sent to the sex clinic and this is where she told me I might have early signs of cancer. I had biopsies done last Monday and they shown VIN3 I going to meet my surgeon tomorrow to discuss a wide local excision. I so scared I haven’t stopped crying. I know this isn’t classed as cancer but is it only a matter of time before I develop a Vulval cancer?! Will I have the surgery and they will tell me after they remove the whole lot that it is in fact a invasive cancer!!! I just can’t handle it. I’ve read about Vulvectomy and my heart breaks. I can’t bear the thought this will be me one day. Is there life after this diagnosis?! I’m 44 with two children that still need me but I feel so low I can’t bear the thought that I have to live a life worrying when this dreadful cancer is going to hit me.
