I had a wide incision with a skin graft done on my leg 2weeks ago I was told a follow up appointment would be sent for 6 weeks time ,but I have received one for under 4weeks is this bad news?
Hi Betful and a warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with melanoma and I know only too well how this feels. Like you I have had a WLE and know how worrying the wait for results can be.
Could I suggest that you join us over in the melanoma group where you can chat with others who will understand what you're going through.
It's impossible to say why your appointment is earlier than expected. It could just be that they're expecting your results back quicker than they originally thought or that they've had a cancellation so can fit you in earlier. It sounds like this is worrying you so why don't you give your SCNS a call and ask her.
To join the group just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. To ask a question or introduce yourself select 'start a discussion'. You can also respond to existing posts by clicking on 'reply'.
When you feel up to it, it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
