Waiting for biopsy

Hi Imarah, 

Im sorry to hear your news. As you’re having the biopsy done I would wait for your results before assuming the worst. It could be one of two things by the sounds of how you’re describing it. I had what’s you’re describing and it looked something like a mouth ulcer on my vulva and I had vulva cancer but after removing the area and both groin lymph nodes I didn’t need further treatment as it was grade 1B cancer, so hadn’t spread to lymph nodes. My mother also has something that looks like this but hers isn’t cancer but it’s something called Lichen Sclerosis with is itchy and white patchy lumps on external vulva and labia minora  so hopefully you could have this which is treated with ointments only. 

Keeping my fingers crossed for you and hoping it’s not cancerous.

Hi Debs1311. Thx for your reply. Good to hear you and your mum are doing ok. Hopefully as you suggest I might have something else going on down there. It’s just after the breast cancer I’m finding it hard to think of anything else. Going to try to think a bit more positively though.

Hi, I was in the same boat, what I thought was vaginal thrush which I had for months, dr kept giving me creams etc over the phone, I finally got an appointment and he then fast tracked me for a biopsy,  he told me that he was 90% cancer.

My cancer biopsy came back has a grade 2 but mine was attached to my annus,  saw gynaecology and they explained that if they operated I would be left with a stoma bag,  I finally agreed to have chemo for 5 weeks, and radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks, 

It was OK until I finished treatment,  but was left with radiation burns, I've been treated with creams,,I'm now 7 months since treatment and tge oncologist have said tge tumour has gone, I'm now on 3 monthly check ups for 5 years.

Just take 1 day at a time, hopefully you will get your results quickly,  mine was only 6 days , 

Good luck xx

Hello Imarah,

I am sorry you are going through this worry, especially after your breast cancer.  I won’t tell you not to worry, for I know you are.  It is the not knowing which is hard.  I hope your biopsy goes ok.  I was advised to wear a sanitary pad after, in case of minor bleeding. (Which there was)

Please keep in touch and let us know how you are, there will always be someone here to help.

sending love.

So sorry for you horrible journey. I’m just hoping it will go ok. 

Thank you for your words and for the advice. I’ll make sure I’ve got one with me for straight after. I am worrying but I expect everyone does. I’ll keep in touch x

You are welcome, yes I am an eternal worrier but it is normal I expect.  Will be thinking of you.
