Hi there my husband has recently been diagnoised with melanoma , breslow scale 2.7mm , ct scan showed incidentaly finding of tiny 2mm lung nodule which they feel is not concerning however they will review in 3 months awaiting wide local incision and SNB anyone have any similar experiences 

  • Hi there Cd1.  I had a melanoma WLE from scalp & skin graft taken from thigh..  Local anaesthetic, no problem whatsoever, surgeon v considerate, careful & unhurried.  It also was sent to the lab, results showed problems deeper.  Then I was sent for a PET whole body search, which showed a nodule behind ear on neck + a hotspot on a lung.  I see a respiratory consultant next week.  That’s where I’m up to.  Everybody has been marvellously kind so far, I am v grateful for everything.  Best wishes to your hus & yourself.

  • And best wishes to you x
