Ive had surgery, lymph nodes removed, and now 1 1/2 yrs later I have "pre-cancer" cells in the general area and need to do for laser surgery. So, what do others think....is this just going to be an on going thing, or are there "happy endings" out there. Thank you. cathy2 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT  On 10/16/2007 cathy2 wrote:Has anyone had any success with this type of cancer not coming back?

Thank you.sorry...type of cancer was "vulvar" I sure wish someone would answer this...Mine started with HPV, the cervical and uterine cancer.  I had a hysterectomy in 1997...was NED for 11 YEARS...now its back in my vulva and vagina.  had a wide local excision last month and will start Aldara or 5FU after next doc's visit.  I tend to think that once a person gets cancer...it never ever goes away completely...that it could always be back...JMHO   I am now even being tested for Esophageal Cancer.....I find out next week about that.Lori in California  lorilocks Thu, 13 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT Lori,How did you make out at the Doctor?  Cathy cathy2 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 3/20/2008 cathy2 wrote:Lori,How did you make out at the Doctor?  CathyHi Cathy,Thanks for asking!  I went to see the Dr. on Tuesday.  She said everything looked clean, no infection, but that the left side labia and the bottom, weren't healed enough to start the cream.  I have another appointment on the 1st, and hopefully I will be healed enough.  She will do a colpo and then refer me to a gyn-onc.  She said I will probably be seeing both of them through treatment.  After that, every 3 months.     I am feeling better, I even got on the treadmill for a bit yesterday.  Its a gorgeous day here, so I am out on the deck now and might do some puttering in the yard :)     How are things going with you?  how are you feeling??Hugs,Lori 40 in California1990-1997 HPV, LEEP, 5FUJune 1997 Hysterectomy~Endometrial and Cervical CancerDec 1998 Lumbar surgeryAug 2001 Lumbar surgeryFeb 2008 Vulvar lesions excised,Vaginal biopsies performed.March 2008 VIN3May your Joy be Pure Joy,and all your Pain, Champagne...  lorilocks Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 3/20/2008 cathy2 wrote:Lori,How did you make out at the Doctor?  CathyHi Cathy,Thanks for asking!  I went to see the Dr. on Tuesday.  She said everything looked clean, no infection, but that the left side labia and the bottom, weren't healed enough to start the cream.  I have another appointment on the 1st, and hopefully I will be healed enough.  She will do a colpo and then refer me to a gyn-onc.  She said I will probably be seeing both of them through treatment.  After that, every 3 months.     I am feeling better, I even got on the treadmill for a bit yesterday.  Its a gorgeous day here, so I am out on the deck now and might do some puttering in the yard :)     How are things going with you?  how are you feeling??Hugs,Lori 40 in California1990-1997 HPV, LEEP, 5FUJune 1997 Hysterectomy~Endometrial and Cervical CancerDec 1998 Lumbar surgeryAug 2001 Lumbar surgeryFeb 2008 Vulvar lesions excised,Vaginal biopsies performed.March 2008 VIN3May your Joy be Pure Joy,and all your Pain, Champagne...  lorilocks Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT
