Hi all,
I have just had a second wide excision and skin graft due to malignant melanoma. I have had clear results from my CT scan and it's all looking good. I will have the dressing removed on Wednesday after 2 weeks. Trouble is it looks horrendous to me. It is on my lower leg and looks like an open wound as the skin is so thin. You can see my leg muscle.
I feel so vulnerable without a dressing to protect it and every time I see it I get upset. I should be thanking my lucky stars and I feel so selfish when lots of you are going through much worse. I would love to hear other people's experiences and ways of coping. As I went through this all before 10 years ago you'd think I would be really well prepared not sitting here feeling sorry for mnyself!
