Hi, I’ve found reading this forum really useful. I’ve got stage 1a melonoma in my right thigh. Had my WLE on Tuesday and today I’m starting to feel less sore. I had 16 stitches so I’m quite nervous about going too much. What would anyone suggest about walking distance and how soon and also thoughts on a short flight 2 weeks post surgery? Thank you
