So I'm 6 weeks into 7 of radiotherapy and the skin in my groin which went black has peeled away. It's also down my inside thigh. It's all bright red and extremely sore. I've been given gel to put on. I can't wear underwear as it cuts in. Anyone...
I’m just after some reassurance really. I had my WLE 6 days ago to remove a large area of VIN3/possible cancer. The area is bigger than they first thought. It’s half way up my labia minors on both side, slightly inside my vagina and all the way up to...

I want to say fml… there I’ve said it. Healing is going ok. Phew. Then I get my period, a bit of a panic as I think my stitches have totally split… phew, no and thankfully the fibroid removal has seemed to work. No pain, less blood. Then…. 5 days...
