*presence of lymphovascular invasion 

and meant to say I’m not overly concerned about any of the other risks apart from lymphoedema xx

Oh gosh yeah that does change things doesn’t it! That seems very quick actually… I’m reading a lot of people are having such long waits! They said between 2-2and a half months wait for me. I’m 100% going ahead with it , still worried about the risks but I need to know if it has spread  xxxx

So sorry to hear your prognosis, yes it does make sense to get it done, hopefully you won't have to wait that long. I am going in for mine on Thursday, so apart from waiting for confirmation (4-5 weeks) I shall be on the rd to recovery (fingers crossed).wishing you all the best ,shall be thinking of you xxxx

Yeah that is a long wait isn’t it! I think the risks are a concern for everyone aren’t they but it’s nice to know other people are going through the same thing and you’re not alone!

keep us updated xx

Thank you, and please keep us updated with how your surgery went and how you’re feeling afterwards. Wishing you the best of luck xx

Hi, my mum has a very large mole it changed colour and shape and is raised. We had a dermoscopy done, they told us 10 days for te results however called just three hours later with a face to fave. During the appointment she told us that it was cancer she would need potentially two operations but needed a biospsy. We had it removed today to be sent off, but she wasnt offered her lymphs to be tested. 

it was about the size of plum and black. I just wondered if anyone could shed some light on the process. 

i lost my dad two years ago to bowel cancer and this group was just brilliant. 

i am so sorry ur all going through this xxxx
