I've just joined and read a lot of posts, thanks to everyone who's replying and providing so much support and information to others.
I had my melanoma removed by the dermatologist as soon as she saw it. I'd gone private as was told it was a non cancerous wart on the back of my thigh which was catching, bleeding and getting more painful. I'm super lucky I was privileged enough to be able to self fund this.
I'm now booked in for a WLE (to make sure it was all removed) and an SLNB on 21st. As it's in my leg I assume it'll be some of the lymph nodes in the groin that get removed, has anyone got experience of the recovery for this? I've seen a lot about arm pits but not much about groins.
I agree with everyone on here, the waits are the worst part. Initially I was indifferent when I found out (maybe denial) but the more it goes on the more it eats away and the aches and pains of the last 12 months challenge your positive outlook.
Keep up the great support on the forums and good luck and stay positive to everyone out there going through similar
