Hi Krista
thanks for that.... I do lots of research into the type of cancer I have - as it is rare - Leiomyosarcoma - but also look at vulvar cancer sites as well. I have had annual smears for many years and also get checked for bladder cancer every year. I have had mammograms early than is recommended. I have never been diagnosed with HPV and have had checks for all these things regularly as well. Find it frustrating that even with a lump mine was discounted by medical professionals as being "nothing". This is why I am working hard to try and get some changes to protocol and knowledge. I read a report that said that a MOTHER having Cervical cancer - which my mother did at about age 55 - means her daughter is more likely to get vulvar cancer. Will see if I can hunt that one out.
