Hi everyone age 65. diagnosed stage 3 melanoma and have put in my profile my history.
Going through a few down days and not wanting to go out and do anything. 2 weeks post op from WLE. Got one of those plastic dressings on that apparently will come off once the stitches dissolve.
They couldn't do a SLNB as it's too deep in my abdomen. Feel like I would of liked to have had that done so I would know myself if it had spread or not, but they said it wouldn't affect the treatment, it would still be the same. Next is another CT, then meet the Oncologist to discuss my treatment.
Been put of work as I just can't keep my emotions in check.
