Am I too old for treatment

LindyB

No you are certainly not too old at all.  I was diagnosed last year at the age of 73, had a radical vulvectomy in June, which successfully removed all the cancer, fortunately I didn’t need any further treatment but need regular check ups for 5 years.  I was scared stiff, not of the operation as I wanted the cancer to begone, but was scared of the after effects, I.e. keeping clean, would I need a catheter, what if this, that or the other happened.  I did have a catheter for two days, but that was OK.

Take someone with you when you see the consultant and write any questions down, tell him your fears.  
I am so glad to have had the surgery.

Please keep in touch, We are all warriors here.
