I’ve been diagnosed today with malignant melanoma on my forehead and head I am waiting for surgery what can I expect and maybe further treatment after surgery feeling worried
I'm sorry to hear you are awaiting a Wide Local Excision on the melanoma that's been removed. Have they told you the depth or Stage of the melanoma as this will have some bearing on the size of the surgical wound. Also, have they said if a skin graft will be necessary? The Stage/depth will also depend if you are offered a Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy. If Stage 2b or c you will also be offered drug treatment after the surgery so the Stage is important to know.
