Hi everyone I'm Tracey and recently got diagnosed with vulva cancer after many appointments to determine what it was. I'm due to have surgery on Tuesday coming and was just wondering how people coped in their recoveries from this? Has anyone had to be fitted with a stoma? As one of my lumps is right in the perineum area the doctor said I might have to wear a stoma for recovery which scared me alot,any advice would be appreciated...ty for reading and I wish u all well :-)
