Hello

             I was just wandering if any other woman, lady, girl, has been through the same as what is happening with me and if anyone had any advice for me.

3 years ago I noticed what seem to be a little white raw pacth at the opening of my vuva I went to the doctors quite a few times but none could tell me what was wrong instead just treated me for thrush. after about a year I was not happy as the icth got worse and the patch got bigger I went back to the doctors and she sent me to the Gyneo, he looked and couldnt belive they had left me so long has there was a few patches now he said he needed to do a biospy and bring me in and do wide local excisions to remove these I think he knew straight of just by looking.

 I went in and they removed the sores and the results were VIN III so they decided to see me every 3 months so went back 3 months later. I went back and it was back again so another wide local excision for me again all of it showed VIN III so again 3 months later I went back and again another wide local excision 3 months later I returned and there were only a few small patches He took a biospy there in the office and did a smear insde and 2 from the outside one from either side and they decided they don't want to keep cutting so decided they would leave me 6 months and then I went back yesterday and they have had a look and said that they do not want to keep cutting I'm only 28 and they don't want to leave me disfigured so it was a stand in docyor and she has discussed laser with me I know as we discussed that laser isnt as effecticve as the excision but there is only so much skin they can take I feel as if I'm going backwards and am  anxiuos about the laser to say the least who has had laser what is it like, yesterday they took 3 more smears and the gyneo who I'm under is going to phone me next week to arrange the next step, I hate this feel very scared

I'm relatively new as well. I am not sure what to tell you to expect since I don't know what to expect either. I can only tell you my story so far, and hope that some others can clue us both in. I discovered what looked more like purple-ish slightly raised mole-like spots around my outer labia (along the hairline) and along the hood of my clitoris about one year ago. I knew it hadn't been there long because I often look at the area with a mirror when I trim the hair around it. I had 14 spots biopsied--some of which came back VIN III. I asked a friend of mine who is a gyncologist about it. Her first recommendation was to start the vaccinations for HPV. She told me that although I had been exposed already, it didn't hurt to take the vaccines, and may help prevent further strands of HPV that I hadn't been exposed to already. I have had three other colposcopies since the first. The second showed three spots, the third had three spots and the last had one spot. The doc says I need to come back in one month to check out the last spot where he removed the visible tissue. I am going to continue with this punch biopsy process unless it suddenly gets worse--say I have more than three spots. I am using the Aldara creme. I have to admit though that I wasn't consistent about it--now I am going to be much more consistent. The whole cancer thing scares me for sure, but what scares me most right now is the pain involved in having a larger area removed. My suggestion to you--which I will be following myself--is to find a gyncologist who is also an oncologist. That is what my gyno friend told me.
