Got my diagnosis of Stage 1B on Thursday and told I need SLNB and WLE on my ankle. Just looking for info and experience from anyone who's had surgery in similar place? Mine is just above where I wear shoes so I'm not sure how that will be affected and...
I have been diagnosed with an aggressive melanoma. Started as a lump on my calf which was excised with quite a large margin and a skin graft applied. All was healing well until about 4 weeks ago the area around the graft bavâmes raised with small pimple...
Hi, I had a stage 1b melanoma removed from my calf last year (June-August for main treatment). In the last week I've noticed 2 raised bumps appear very close to the WLE scar - and they look very similar to the original lesion I had that evolved into...
After being told there was a concern following a dermascopy on 31st January, I was diagnosed on 15th March with Stage 3a melanoma. This was following two skin excisions. I’ve just had a wide local excision and sentinel node removal x 2 (through the same...
Hi all I was diagnosed on the 8th January with Stage 2B Nodular Melanoma, all being well I’m having my WLE and SLNB on the 16th April. I just feel I’ve only just got my head around the diagnosis and it’s all about to get turned upside down again. It’s...

Hello all, my first post. My husband had his WLE/SLNB in Feb (6/9 nodes removed, the other 3 were too close to important organs to be removed), and we were told 10 days ago that 5/6 removed had cancer cells in. He now has scans tomorrow on his head and...
Reading the pathology report following my lymph node dissection, it appears I am NRAS positive. This is a genetic mutation that is present 15-20% of the time in melanoma. This has not been mentioned by my oncologist, yet it is potentially bad news if...
Hi everyone, I haven't posted on here in a while, but I wanted to give an update on my mum. Her melanoma progressed to stage 4 last autumn and in October she was given three to six months to live if treatment didn't work. We found out she had three...
