Recently diagnosed

Hi Calsmam, 

Sorry to hear about diagnosis. 

I was diagnosed with stage 1 melanoma in August too. I was quite worried about anaesthetics aspects, as I never had any surgery before. 

I had my WLE and SLNB 10 days ago and anaesthetic consultant went through details on the day of the surgery and it all went exactly as she said. I had the most pleasant experience I must say, one minute I was talking to her and they put a warm blanket on me and the next I woke up in another room with a nurse sitting beside me and operation was done.

It's not easy not to worry, about these things but I try to remember that operation team will assess everything beforehand, they know what they are doing and they do it every day,so try to stay positive. 

Hi Elmyra

Thank you for your reply much appreciated. 
How do you feel after your surgery?

I am feeling Ok thanks, bit discomfort around the wound, walking slower than usual but otherwise all back to normal.

Hope you get some answers to your worries soon. 

Thank you
