I was dx with vulvar cancer in late April. I had a radical excision done in May of this year, laser and lymnode removal. 9 from the right side and 5 from the left side. But the craziest thing is starting to happen now. I am starting to get gray hair down there. I am 29 years old is the just normal part of life or does it have something to do with the surgery? Is this happening to anyone else.
