My boyfriend has stage 1a melanoma. He needs WLE to ensure it’s all gone. He was told within 4 weeks he needs the surgery. He wanted it on the 4th week so he can mentally prepare etc. His parents want him to have the surgery sooner but he doesn’t want to. I spoke to dermatology and they said a week won’t make a difference and he’s still within the time frame for surgery. What is your opinion on this? It is only 4 days between the two surgery dates - the 8th or the 14th August but he would like to go on a break away with me for some mental wellness before the procedure and recovery.
