  • Hello DAISYMargaritta

    I'm sorry to hear that you were recently diagnosed with nodular melanoma after having a lump removed from your leg. It's understandable that you're feeling in limbo while you're waiting for more tests. 

    We know that for many people, this period of waiting and uncertainty can be really difficult. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the additional tests, and once the specialists have the results, they will be in a position to offer you some reassurance about the next steps in your care. 

    In the meantime, if it would help, you're most welcome to give our team of nurses a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. If you'd like to talk with them, they're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on DAISYMargaritta. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
