   CIN 3 and now VIN 3 (Cancer: Cervical & Ovarian board)

15th May 2008
Mandy, thanks for your info and sorry for all these questions. I've had a heck of a time getting anyone to listen to me/my symptoms, and that 5 second vinegar wash didn't even alert my gyn-onco to the lesion! I know it's been there for a year because I've had these symptoms for at least that long. It's hard to see unless you peel the skin flat, but it is almost the size of my pinky finger nail, so not exactly small. I also know it coincided with initial infection so VIN is the only thing that makes sense, given my hx of cervical dysplasia, and the fact I had absolutely ZERO gyn problems my entire life until infected.

The main lesion you mentioned, was that at the top or towards the bottom (entrance)?

Were they in the vestibule or on the outside skin parts or perineum or all over the place? I know it's commonly multifocal and that's what worries me--that they missed lots of places.

Has your gyn-onco talked to you about Aldara?

Thats fine with the questions, ask away. The main area was from the vestibule to the outer on an angle running towards the front. If I could draw it, it would be much easier. Really speaking, including the areas biopsied, its multifocal. I honestly cannot or could not see it just by looking, not obvious at all. So if you can see an area, then I would definately be pushing for another opinion.
Yes my Gynae has talked to me about the Aldara, but he said he thought we should wait till my next app, to see how things look. Especially cause of just having the surgery and stiches, it was not something he wanted me to use yet. I am still not 100% healed, and the surgery was the 21st of April. I feel comfortable with this wait, as he seemed very thorough.
So until then, I'm trying to be stress free:) and adding vitamins to my diet.
Who knows. Worth trying almost anything.
