I had malignant melanoma removed in November.  I had slnb, wle and skin graft 9 weeks ago.  My wound is on back of my leg just above Achilles tendon and has healed really well. Two days ago my ankle started swelling. Has this happened to anyone else and if so what did you do?  I can’t contact anyone as it’s the holiday weekend. 

  • Hi Maxieplum welcome to the forum. I dont know enough about your type of surgery but If it was me I would call Out of Hours on 111 and get some advice re this from them as you say it is the holiday weekend and at least that will give you some re-assurance.
