Hi there about two and half years ago I had stage 1a skin cancer (melanoma) I had 3 lots of surgery altogether. It has left on my right inner lower leg an dent in it about 3 inches in diameter . I have noticed that my leg get's more achy if I stand on it for long. And be quite painful in the dent itself, is that normal after two and a half years?
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
Just over 3 years ago I had a WLE and SLNB for my Stage 2a melanoma. Mine was on my arm and the SLNB done from my armpit. Occasionally the area where the WLE was done ache's slightly.
Can I recommend that you join and post this question in the melanoma group as I know that there are people in the group who had their melanoma on their leg and will probably be able to share their experiences with you.

When you have a minute it would be useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis.
