I had an appointment with the plastic surgeon last week who is going to do my WLE and SNLB and was quite shocked when she told me that I would be on the waiting list and it wouldn’t be until at least August when I would have surgery.
I do feel that it’s a very long time to be waiting. The only reassuring thing is that my recent CT scan was clear.
Currently, after first excision I am stage2b nodular melanoma with Breslow depth of 5.4.
I know that all I can do is keep busy and positive but there are moments when I just want to cry!
