New to all this, so wanted to say hello & introduce myself.
I was diagnosed pt1a melanoma on my left shoulder on 19th March after my ‘dodgy looking’ mole was removed on 11th Feb.
I am really worried and so nervous about the next steps, as my referral which I’m assuming is my WLE isn’t until 12th May so already feel like I’ve been waiting ages plus my scar is still causing random pain, aching and tightness.
Also my GP gave recorded my stage 1a as minor - melanoma in situ of left back. Should I let them know/does it need changing on my record as it sure doesn’t feel minor to me
Thanks for taking the time to read,
healing wishes to all x
