I decided to phone the hospital today as I wasn't sure when or how I would get my results. I spoke to the nurse I met at the plastics appt.
She was able to tell me the WLE and SLNB were negative for melanoma. A huge relief, I burst into tears.
An appointment in a couple of weeks to talk about monitoring etc going forward.
Many thanks to those who have supported and responded to me during the past four months.
Wishing everybody well xx
That's such great news!
Many thanks Latchbrook. This forum has been a huge help and support. Xx
Thanks Sophie, a huge relief I slept like a log last night after months of sporadic sleep.
I see you have a date 1st March for your WLE and SLNB with the wedding 21st March..
Mine was 3inch WLE on my back and a big half moon in my armpit...I didn't need a skin flap so I can't help with that.
I recovered really quickly and was back to normal by day 20. So hopefully you will be fine following your best friend down the aisle. Good luck a lovely event to look forward to.
Hope your results are good too xx
