Good morning all,
Yesterday, I attended my Breast Surgery appointment. On arrival I was welcome with beautiful smiles and calmness from all the staff in the department. It was such a relief to my husband to be able to attend with me and he was also made to feel very welcome.
After my initial meeting with the consultant, I was thoroughly examined, sent for a mammogram, scan and had a biopsy. Thankfully after a very long morning I was told that my melanoma hadn’t spread to my breast. What I have is a small cyst.
Throughout this most dreadful experience of the last eight weeks I can’t thank the NHS staff that have looked after me with pure tender care.
I can know go ahead with WLE & SNLB but I’m aware that I have a couple of swellings in my groin and in the top of my leg. I have had a call this morning from CN who has told me this should happen in the next week. Fingers crossed that it does 
Hope everyone is well today

Thanks latchbrook, I thought so until I have just received another call from my CN to say that I need to have a groin scan next Wednesday 
. On a positive note I’m a step closer.

Great news Scousemouse
Can you tell me what
Hi Telstarr2
WLE stands for wide local excision and SLNB for sentinel lymph node biopsy. These are procedures that are carried out after a melanoma diagnosis.
I can see from your profile that you are waiting for results for a possible different type of cancer. I know how stressful waiting for results can be and I hope everything works out okay for you.
