I haven't posted about my battle with VIN (pre cancer on vulvar) in a while, but figured I would again to help spread awareness and share why you won't be seeing posts from me for a while. I'm having my 13th surgery for it tomorrow. Another partial vulvectomy, and this time I also have to have a gluteal fold flap skin graft reconstruction. I'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days this time as well. Generally my recovery takes about 6-8+ weeks. This is going to be a harder recovery so I'll take all the prayers and good vibes I can get. 🙏🍀🤞
Ladies, if you have any concerns with something on your vulvar then please advocate for yourself and speak up to your gyno doctor. They don't check for VIN during regular check ups, and most doctors have very limited knowledge about it.
My Etsy shop is on "vacation mode" until I recover, but my shop inside Yesterdays and Todays Unique Treasures will continue to be open. I appreciate y'all's support during this holiday season when I can't actually work.
