Melanoma

I had melanoma in 2017 and fear it's come back, got 2 lumps on same leg. Was rushed to be seen and told surgery and full body ct scan.

 

Today told no appointments have been booked, nurse didn't know I've been experiencing leg pain and the pains just getting worse. The consultant was very clear surgery this week, he wouldn't do it as he is off, but he is treating as melanoma until biopsy proves otherwise.

Psyched up for surgery and now it might be 3 weeks before it's done...gone from feeling it's all in hand we are acting quick to, it'll be done as and when...

  • Hi Sezuk, 

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear you may think your melanoma has returned. This must be a very worrying and stressful time, especially with finding out you have another 3 weeks to wait for your surgery, but fingers crossed there will be no more issues from here on out and you can finally get a step closer to some answers.

    Many of our members know how tough it can be to come up against unexpected obstacles so you are not alone in how you're feeling at the moment and I'm sure you will receive some support and advice from them soon.
