Hey all
I have been diagnosed with Melanoma 3.1mm PT3a and my recent CT scan has shown no signs of metastasis. The MDT meeting that discussed my case and agreed treatment was on the 31st July. I am under Preston hospital. I have been told my Wide local excision & Lymph node biopsy will be done and we are looking at October for surgery date.
I know people have it worse than me - and I know the nhs is completely understaffed and underfunded but this is a hell of a long time to wait isn’t it?!
God forbid it is in my lymph nodes, I want to start treatment as soon as possible.
My partner starts a new job on 15th September who don’t owe him anything in regards to time off to attend appointments with me etc - I was really hoping I’d have had the surgery at least before his start date.
Am I missing something here?! Feel free to tell me if I am. But OCTOBER?! Help me please. I’m so stressed with it all :(
