Melanoma wide local excision

I had 3 moles removed in March and am going back next week for a wide local excision- one was stage 1A melanoma and the other 2 were melanoma in situ. 

Anyone been through this and can let me know how it went please. Feeling anxious and surgery was due last week but had to be postponed so even more nervous now.

  • Hi I'm Lynn

     

    i was diagnosed the same in March and was diagnosed stage 1a

     

    had my wide excision surgery last week 25th

     

    i totally appreciate what you're saying and going through 

     

    please be comforted the next stage is not much different to what you've been through. My leg is very sore but as they take more we hope it will be for the best . The surgeon and surgery was brilliant under the circumstances 

     

    I probably am just a step ahead so will keep you informed but trust me it's not as bad as you think and I'm sending my best for you 

    the doctors on the day will be nothing but super on your next step xx big hugs

    Really appreciate your reply. 

    I was due to have my wle on 26 May but doctor got covid so just hoping it goes ahead next Tuesday. 

    Were you able to drive home afterwards? I did after the first surgery but just worried as its going to be a longer cut this time in 3 different areas on both legs. 

    I hope you are healing well and not in too much discomfort.
