Is there anyone still around in this group? I have lived with my "aflction" for over 15 years now......would love tobe able to talk about it....

I have VaIN-2. I chose to do Efudex topical cream and have been experiencing fatigue. My question is does this Chemotherapy cream cause that fatigue or is it the condition? Also will I experience nausea at some point in this treatment?

So as I was taking a shower the other day, I noticed a lump on my vaginal area.. At fist I wasn't too worried about it because I tend to get pimple down there quite a bit (tmi, I'm sorry!!), but now I'm started to worry a bit. It's been about two weeks and it hasn't gone away. I've tried squeezing the lump but nothing comes out. Also, my family has a history of different types of cancers; mainly...

My sister was diagnosed with vaginal cancer last December. She underwent radiation/chemo for 7 weeks and brachetherapy (sp?) (internal radiation inserted into her tumor). In June she had a PET scan and all signs said she was in remission. She began having awful pain and they recently did another PET scan and a biopsy only to find that the cancer is back. The doctors have said all they can do...

He wasn't w me during my first go round w stage 3c endontrial ca, but has experienced the new...

They're about the size if a Hershey's kiss and raised up about a quarter inch.About the time I found it (at the time there was only one) was a...

I was just wondering if this message board is active? I think I might have to deal with a reaccurance of Vaginal Cancer after completing treatment in November of 2009. Has anyone on here had a reaccurance, and what was the treatment that was used? I have had many surgeries while trying to prevent VAIN turning into Cancer (fail) and I had external beam radiation. I might add that I stopped...

I have Grade One vaginal cancer cells as I have posted about here. I see my new doctor on December 12th. I was told that possibly they would be doing some laser treatment to the area to take care of the cells. Has anyone had this done, and if so can you PLEASE tell me something about it.
