Hi
Iv recently been diagnosed with melanoma on the sole of my foot.iv had wle and skin graft. Have been told my melanoma is stage 2c.
Unfortunatly im back in for another further wle and another skin graft.
Has anybody else had melanoma on the sole of their foot.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you have recently been diagnosed with melanoma. How are you feeling since hearing this?
Not many people have to have a second WLE or was the first one the original excision? I was diagnosed with melanoma just under 3 years ago now but mine was on my arm. I then had a WLE and SLNB. Are you having a SLNB when you have the WLE?
I've had both of these operations so can help you with my experiences if you have any questions.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi
How are you?
I'm guessing that you've had your WLE by now. Did you have a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) at the same time and have you had your results back from the WLE and SLNB?
