WLE behind knee

I will be having a WLE a week on Monday and the site is behind my knee just below the crease in the back of my knee the WLE will go into the crease. They have advised the possibility of needing a skin graft also.

Has anyone had a WLE in this location before and if so were you given crutches to help walk etc?

I have a wild 2 year old and just trying to plan in advanced as I don't really have much info regarding after the operation at the moment. 

  • Hi Chelle88h,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm not sure if you'll have the opportunity to speak to your doctor before next week, for example whether you could give them a call to try to get further information to help with your planning.

    If not, you could try giving our nurses a call as they may be able to offer some advice. If you'd like to do this, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    I hope things go well next week.

    Wishing you all the best,
