    MistyCabin and Car6166, I am a visitor from the Uterine board (we gyn cancers have to stick together) but I wanted to pop in and say it gets quiet on your board, but I hope you continue to post and support each other.  As you can see, others have been here before you and it you are not alone.

    Thank you for the
    Thank you for the information you shared. I was diagnosed with VINiii with suspicious growth just after Christmas. I had a wide excision on Jan 24th to determine if cancer was present. I am trying to recover from surgery and have been very uncomofotable and quite concerned about infection. I will try some of your suggestions and hope they help with the healing process. Unfortunately for me we are still waiting for path reports so we know exactly what we are dealing with.

    I am so happy to have found this site. This topic is so difficult to find information on and I have no friends or family living near me so my husband and I trying to take things one step at a time.
    Thank you for sharing and I wish you all the best.

    How are you doing?

    Did you have your surgery?  I had vulvar surgery nine years ago.  It was scary but I'm glad I had it.  The recovery wasn't as bad as I feared and I've been very lucky to have no recurrence.  I hope you are doing well :)
