My Mother was dianosed in May with Squamos Cell Carcinoma Vulvar Cancer. She had surgery where they removed most of the left side of her Vulvar, plus some lymph nodes out of her left thigh.
Yesterday, she told me she found another spot in the same area, just above where they operated. The Dr. who did the surgery said she was 98% cured.
What are the chances this could be the same thing?...I do realize there is a 2% chance, but is there a possibilty this something else like scar tissue or something?
For those who dont know what this is...
It is a form of skin cancer that was in her Vaginal area. Mom had a historectomy 26 yrs ago, so there is no chance of Uteran or Fallopian Cancer, but if it gets into the blood stream, it could become other types of Cancer.....like Bladder or Rectal.
We have an appt with her Dr. on Thurs, but I am just curious...
