I have been diagnosed with stage 2b melanoma awaiting results of sentinel node biopsy taken 2 weeks ago. My site is my temple where I had a 2cm wide excision, I had 2 dressings done at the hospital and have no desire to see the wound at present, it's deep. Hospital nurses were fine about my decision, I had to contact the GP surgery to make a nurse appointment to have the sites to be checked, next week. I spoke to the nurse made her aware of my feelings at present and did not feel validated. I am worried about am I being stupid about not wanting to see the wound. My partner is supportive.
