Cancer - I don't think that that will happen any time soon. In the beginning I was scared about that as well, but over time experienced that taking good care of LS is best,
Learn as much as you can from this site and see what works for others. For me for instance - baking soda baths and rinses have proven to be very helpful. Plus diet, use of coconut oil for lubrication. This next to the minimum amount of Globetasol. Good care is most important.
By the way - did the nurse indeed give you LS info?

The kind of cancer LS sufferers are at somewhat higher risk for than average is squamous cell carcinoma, a slow cancer fairly easily cut away. But there are several slow easily detected stages before cancer, which is why we go for checkups twice a year. If the doctor sees anyrhing suspicious at the annual colposcopy clinic , he/she has a colposcope to look in detail and then take care of it at the first sign. So that worry is off your stress list now. And you can stop looking up photos. Those are neglected, undiagnosed cases.
Stress and sugar (and you know how we tend to pair them ) are friends of LS. So make it your goal to get calm and no more big desserts or chocolate bars or ice cream binges.

The bicarbonate baths and rinses is my own invention. I was already using bicarbonate to brush my teeth, due to Lichen Planus in my mouth. And my mother used it for hard to heal wounds and against infections. So after my dilation procedure over a year ago I started experimenting with bicarbonate, cause I was afraid of it becoming infected.
I was totally surprised at how the baths and rinses improved my situation. And even further surprised when fusions slowly but surely started to melt away. (I was totally fused up and therefore needed this dilation procedure) Today there is little fusion left. When I asked my doctor and nature path it sparked another thought: the alkaline and accidity balance. None had connected this to LS. Later I found info from a doctor who already in the 1920's had made this discovery - when you watch this balance a lot of cancers can not grow, was his claim. Accidently my diet already was very much in correspondence with this thought.
Bath (1/3 cup) rinsing after every bathroom visit (three pinches in a Perins bottle) I take a baking soda/bicarbonate bath every other day.
