Gynecological Cancers (other than ovarian and uterine)

NED
Got my scan results on Thursday and jumped up and down in Walmart's parking lot. I've been having bathroom problems and pain in my shoulder, so I was very concerned. Guess this is just more of the joys of hysterectomy and surgical menopause. Not complaining, though. Life is good and I'm NED!!!! You ladies have a wonderful…
I'm new here - Just diagnosed with VIN 3. Scared.
Hi Everyone, I'm 51 years old and a few weeks ago I started bleeding (post menopause). My GP referred me to a gynocologist and he did a uterine biopsy. While doing the biopsy the doctor saw discoloring on my vulva and told me he was not concerned about uterine cancer but was concerned about what he had found and that I…

Did any of you start out wit VAIN III, CIN III, or VIN III & have yours turn into CA?
Hi to you all! While awaiting talk with my Gyn/onc I'm doing a lot of research on these DXs and was wondering if any of you had either or all or any of these DXs before ending up with a vaginal, cervical or vulva cancer? I was initially told that I have endometrial & endocervical cancers PLUS the VIN, VAIN & CIN III. What…

VULVAR CANCER SUPPORT
Hello again. It's been almost 2 months since my surgery for squamous cell vulvar cancer. I AM DOING GREAT!!

New Here..Dx'd with VIN iii and ???
Hello, I've got 2 + biopsies back with VIN iii and they are pretty far apart. So gyno is sending me to be "mapped"? With more biosies from a gyno onco. And I've called for another gyno onco opinion too. It's been crazy and I itch all over down there..... So I'm worried that I've got this stuff all over! I'm freaking out. I…
Vulvar Dysplasia III
I just received word that I have VIN III. I am afraid. he lesion wil be removed soon and I will be seeing an oncologist soon. The Dr. spoke of reconstructive surgery and all of this is overwhelming. The only comforting words i heard is that I don't have a cancer. But he kept emphasizing how severe the dysplasia was. I'm…
Vin III / Sonopet Surgery
Hello ladies.... I was diagnosed with Vin III for the second time. My first surgery was two years ago.

Pet scan
Pet scan Monday was good, oncologist was pleased. Though I am grateful for this & the excellent care I had to get me here, I feel so horrible that others, esp my good friend Kitty (Ronmybaby) did not. It's just not fair. She should still be here, 56 yrs old is too young.

Haven't heard from you in a while. I hope all is well with your mom. Stay strong. Still thinking of you both. Hugs.

Trying to think positive and keep busy. to vent a little frustration, as I drove to my ct scan I had a panic attack and had to pull over on the side of the beltway. After I regrouped, I got my self to the…
