Hi all,
had a biopsy on a mole 5 weeks ago, has been confirmed as Lentigo Malinga, saw the consultant today, next step is to remove all the mole with a narrow margin due to location of mole. For this then to be tested to make sure no invasive melanoma is found.
just wondering has anyone else had something similar, is it normal for them to test for invasive melanoma after a lentigo maligna found on some of the mole.
After 5 weeks of worry, I had hoped it will be the end once removed but now feel I’m going to have more weeks of worry that the remaining may come back as invasive.
