Hi
i finished treatment 16 months ago but for the last 8/weeks I have been suffering with vulva ulcers that just won’t heal
seen oncologist today and had pain relief increased but came from the appointment feeling really low as they don’t know when these will heal as I’m diabetic and overweight
this is much worse than the treatment I had for cancer and it’s messing with my mental health as I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel
I know I should be over the moon that the treatment worked but I’m still suffering
anyone else had radiation vulva ulcers ? How long did the last ? Anything help promote healing?
