Stage 2 Melanoma Skin Cancer

After noticing a change to a mole on my neck had it checked and recently had removed. Didn’t think a lot of it but got results this week and diagnosed with Stage 2A melanoma . Next steps is to see consultant to discuss Wide Local Excision and possible sentinel lymph node biopsy although not sure if will have that I feel well and healthy but suddenly on rollercoaster of one minute being positive the next overthinking . Has anyone been through similar please ? 

  • Hi LouLouP,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sure this must have been a shock and I hope you are getting on OK, and that it's not long to wait until your appointment. Ahead of that, do make a note of any questions you have so you can talk everything through and get the information you need.

    My reply here will give your post a little boost, so a few more people should see it and hopefully you'll get more replies - particularly from anyone with similar experience.

    From the homepage of the forum you can also use the search bar at the top to find other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you'd like to.

    Wishing you all the best,
