After reading alot of postings on this board, I realize alot of you are much more advanced than I am and my heart goes out to all of you. I had just received results today from a biopsy of VIN 2 -3 and have to have a surgery in 3 weeks to have it removed. I was told a local excision with a few stitches and hopefully they can remove it all in my vulvar area. I am scared to death but was told the surgery was not a big deal but was being done at the hospital with anethesia. I have already had a hysterectomy and partial vaginectomy over the past 2 years. I was told I will only be out of work for 2 days and it was no big deal. After all the pre-cancers I've had and carcinoma in situ's, I am very concerned and want to know if anyone has any advice, knows anything more about this surgery. I've read a few on here that state 3 weeks out of work so I know mine must not be that bad but I still am very worried about the continually progressions over 4 years. I would really appreciate any comments to the surgery itself, healing process? painful? etc etc.
Thank you so much and my thoughts are with all of you.
