Hello I am aged 80, fit and active - swim, walk and travel regularly. 

I was diagnosed with EMPD on 1 July following a biopsy. Due to see the gynae/oncologist on 01 September. Options for consideration given at time of diagnosis - surgery, course of immuniquod or monitoring. What experience do others have of this rare form of cancer?

  • Hi ,

    Sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis.

    My diagnosis is different to yours, mine was  scc, so I cant comment on your diagnosis. However, I do understand the struggle of receiving a similar diagnosis and having decisions to make, so I just wanted to say I am here if you want to chat. 

    If you would like to speak to people with your diagnosis or read through old posts then you can type your diagnosis into the search bar and that will bring up old posts that mention your diagnosis. 

    Best wishes,

    Vulval cancer warrior xx
