I’m struggling to find information on vulvar cancer because it’s so rare. Would be great to get some feedback from others.
I have vulvar cancer that has spread to one local lymph node and pelvis.
ive just had second chemo treatment (2 drugs - Paclotaxel and Csrboplatin) and when finished will then have radiotherapy and chemo then for 5 weeks.
Anyone been through similar that can share their experience?
Thank you
Hello Shazza738
I am sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis and wish you well with your treatments.
I had womb cancer but went through the same treatments as you.
Paclitaxel and Carboplatin and then 5 weeks external beam radiotherapy. Any questions about the treatments I am happy to answer.
I hope that you are not feeling too unwell on the chemo. I found it quite tough at times.
I will pop some links here that may help as you say you are struggling to find information.
