Hello AnnetteJ14 and thanks for your post,
I am sorry to hear about your situation. We do have some information on acral-lentiginous melanoma and you may find it helpful look at the information on Melanoma UK
You have posted in 'ask the nurses' but if you post on a different thread or start your own you may find that you get responses from other patients in a similar situation.
We do have a list of resources for melanoma organisations that you might find helpful to look at.
I do hope that your surgery goes well.
If you would like to talk things through with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a call. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
All the best,
Catherine
