Hello after 2 years of extensive itching and being treated for lichen sclerosis. Dec 2025 I was biopsies and diagnosed with vulvar cancer. Feb 28 I had the vulvectomy surgery and lymph node dissection. Healing now and waiting on results.
Hi Hcn faith
Welcome to the Vulva cancer forum.
I am sorry to hear that you have had a diagnosis of vulva cancer and I hope that you are recovering ok from the surgery. I hope that you are not too uncomfortable.
It can be hard waiting for the post op results so if you feel like talking to someone would help, then please do give the Support Line a call.
My post op results (for endometrial cancer) came through at around 3 1/2 weeks so hopefully you will not have to wait too much longer. In the meantime we are here if you need us.

Hi Hcn faith and welcome to the vulva group.
I had a different gynaecological cancer, but have had extensive surgery in the same area and I noticed you hadn’t had a reply yet, so I’m reassuring you that your post has been seen.
I hope your recovery is going well-I understand how difficult it can be to have surgery in that area and how tender we are afterwards!
I know there are other ladies who’ve had surgery, so I’ll tag a couple into my reply in the hope they’ll see this and you can perhaps connect with them to discuss your experiences. Ex Lancashire Lass Debs1311
It can be helpful to add details to your profile of treatment and surgery so that others can see how you’ve come to be here and what you’ve completed so far-it saves you having to repeat yourself in future posts. If you click on my name, you’ll see how I’ve completed my story.
I’m not sure how long you’ll be waiting for your post op results, but I hope everything has gone well with your surgery. Feel free to join in any threads in the group and keep in touch to let us know how things are going. Meanwhile, take time to look after yourself and take care.
