      My wife has had a partial vulvectomy for Bartholins Gland cancer. She would gladly answer any questions that she can.

      I've had this surgery twice now. First was Nov. 2011 - partial radical vulvectomy on the left, with lymph node removal from both groin areas. The second surgery was Oct. 22, 2012 which I am recovering from. This was a reoccurance of the squamous cell ca so this surgery was to take more tissue along with about a centimeter of urethra and one lymph node on the left that was positive per a PET scann. I think the Dr. said that there isn't anymore vulva tissue on the left to take. She did reconstruction of the area and I am healing up very well. I'm happy to share and would like to share with others who are having the same or similar issues. They are recomending radiation next.
