Hello I have just been diagnosed with melanoma 2.2mm so awaiting WLE and SLB - would be interested to hear from others with experience of these procedures and if everyone offered SLB has had it?
I hope that you will hear from the experiences of other members of this forum who have been diagnosed with melanoma and been offered a WLE and SLB. I had a little look around the forum for you for past relevant threads on the subject and found a few posts which might be of interest to you.
[@Mariee1] posted this thread a few months ago asking precisely about the sentinel lymph node biopsy and you can also read more about her story on this thread as well as [@AngieT] 's helpful response on the subject. Don't hesitate to respond there if you wish and I hope that hearing from their experiences will be useful to you.
Just this morning, a member [@Sleepless] came on the forum to talk about their recent melanoma diagnosis - you can read more about it on this thread. It may help to support one another as this is all very new to you both and you are probably waiting to find out more.
If you have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I hope that everything goes well for you and that you find out more soon about what the next steps might be and what procedures you will be having. Keep us updated if you get a chance!
