Hi. I’ve been to 2 different Hospital’s for treatment of melanoma insitu on nose. The first hospital did an excision biopsy to confirm. At the second hospital I had WLE with skin graft, then the results revealed some remaining melanoma cells in the margin.
I was given options to continue treatment and chose mohs surgery, I’m now being referred to a 3rd hospital for this treatment, and have just received an appointment to see a consultant in 6 weeks time.
It’s been 5 months since I first presented myself to my doctor, and like most I’m dealing with anxiety . Should I contact the hospital and ask if any cancellations become available , then I would readily accept.
Hi Hellothere and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I can understand why you want to have your Mohs' surgery as soon as possible so that you can get the remaining pre-cancerous cells removed. It would certainly do no harm to phone the hospital where you'll be having the procedure done to tell them that you can take a cancellation if any become available before your scheduled surgery.
Let us know how you get on
