Hi there, I am new to this forum, having had a whirlwind few months. Recently (3wks ago) had a WLE on my vulva where VIN 2 and 3 were removed, the results showed no sign of cancer but 'possible margin involvement' Can anyone tell me more about what this means. I feel relief that there's no cancer but on the other hand, anxiety that it'll return. Have a check up in 6 months.

It has all happened so quick, still in shock.

Thank you

Hi, I had a WLE for VIN3 and vulva cancer in May. Cancer removed but mine also said VIN3 close to margin. This basically means there is a small amount of VIN at the edge of the operation site and will need keeping an eye / check on it to see if it spreads. Check the area weekly with a mirror and if any colouring, itchiness, lumps etc make an appointment to see your Gyn surgeon to get it checked. It might not come back or spread.

Don't wait for your next check up if you notice or feel anything unusual. Best to get it checked ASAP. Don't worry, just do regular checks.
