Hi. I had a melanoma in situ excision in November 2022 after noting a small mole on my left ankle had changed. Am currently waiting for wider excision and plastic surgery. Originally told to chase after 3-4 weeks,  currently heading towards 6, but can see from other conversations this isn't unusual. I need to plan travel for work so it's frustrating, but fully appreciate the NHS is under huge stress right now. 

Looking like I need to allow a few weeks post op before things settle down. 

  • I'm in the same position, mole removed Oct 2022, had appt with plastics 4/1/23 where I was told 4 to 6 weeks, had my pre op, so just waiting on a date, struggling with the waiting. Hope you hear soon x

    Thank you. Glad to hear things are progressing for you. Fingers crossed you get a date soon, then you will feel more reassured. Blush
