My mom is having a radical vulvectomy the first week in february. I am looking for information on what to expect afterwards. I can't really find anything on the web about pain, etc. after surgery. I am a full-time student and mother, but I will be her caretaker after surgery. I will be staying with her and commuting 3 hours to school twice a week. Which, doesn't bother me; it's my mom! But I was wondering if anyone can give me any advice on what to expect, I know everyone heals differently, but I would like a heads up. So if anyone has had a radical vulvectomy please help me with some information. I feel like I am losing my mind! I appreciate all and any help anyone could give me.
