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 

  • Hi Lynn

    Just checking in on how you are doing? 

    Did they tell you when you will get your results of the WLE? I've been told up to 8 weeks.

    I am recovering better this time around thank goodness.

  • Good morning 

    im not doing too bad thanks, glad you're recovering better

     

    like you it's a bigger version of the initial one plus I had on me on my neck removed , I was slow with moving initially but three weeks on I'm just about getting to normal 

     

    canr believe I was called in for my first three month review! Had it really been that long since diagnosed but yes....

     

    it's good they do that , but results from op aren't until 5 july

     

    a bit nervous on that as I'm sure you are, but we're doing as good as we can 

     

    I can't fault the hallamshire or calow hospital 

     

    just glad we're having things sorted

     

    have a super day

     

    I will keep my fingers crossed for both our results

  • Hi

     

    Just letting you know I had my results today of the WLE and they found no more residual melanoma 

     

    so for now it's the three monthly checks 

     

    how are you going on ?
