    Thank you so much for sharing. I'm waiting for biopsy results as I've been suffering for a long time.

      The fact that you use the term "brave woman" is disrespectful. It's nothing rare at all or should it have to begin with "A" which implies that it's a feat to say,

    Im having a similar problem. Diagnosed in 2014 with cervical cancer. Went through chemotheraphy and radiotherapy. My problem back then and even now is that GPs don't take you seriously. They prescribe medication and antiotics that don't work. After 18months of bleeding and severe pain I insisted that I be seen by a gyneacilogist. Only after seeing her was a biopsy done and it was determined to be cervical cancer. I have since changed my GP. Apart from eveything else I am having excruciating pain in my vulva. He has prescribed antibiotics for the third time. I suggested me seeing a gyneacologist and his response was we can fix this theres no need to see a gyneacologist. How much longer should I suffer before I get help. Since 2018 I have been to the ER 3 times and on each visit I was admitted for 5 days or more. But the hospital investigation was for a blocked colon and kidney problem. I will take it upon myself to make an appointment with a gyneacologist to have a biopsy done so we can figure out what the problem is.

    What an amazingly strong woman. Yes, there’s no choice but to go forward, but what she had to deal with…

    The voiceover bits over the interview audio are headache producing. But thank you for this video, since there isn't enough education/information on Vulvar cancer.

    After a year, i finally went to see my doctor. He told me i had cancer and was referring me to specialists asap. They did a biopsy and was told it was vulva cancer. I went through the exact same emotions and pain from my operation and radiation. It was a long, hard road. I recently found another tumor, and yet another biopsy was done. I'm waiting for the phone call.

    My gyno is trying to send me to a Dermatologist. I'm not wanting to go to them, I've been in pain for 10 months. 😢 what would you suggest?

      That is strange but not so surprising. Your gynecologists trying to get rid of a more complex work and responsibility. Might as well call dermatologist office to see if they would be helpful with whatever your condition is. Otherwise, maybe change your gynecologist.

    This story is important to be shared for all women to know that you can struggle to get diagnosed with vulvar cancer even now in 2022/2023.
    And sadly, her statement that employers now vs then isn’t true. Work is still shit and people will still be treated like replaceable cogs, even requesting a selfie at the er.
    There are sections with overlapping voiceovers - it makes that section incomprehensible. Like around 11:00 minutes in when the radical vulvectomy is being explained.

    That’s the problem I knew that’s automatically what the doctor via nurses automatically assume about vulvar cancer is it’s warts and it makes you uncomfortable to even have it looked at and it’s hard to concentrate

    I wonder if many women with vulvacancer have used corticosteroid ointments with BHT on their vulva in the past?
