Hi all,
I had a glansectomy with skin graft and some lymph nodes removed from both groins, this was about 3 weeks ago.
I had a follow up consultation last week to check on progress and also got the results of the biopsy, and I have to say it was a bit of a sh*t sandwich.....
The tumour was removed and there was "clear margins" around this, which was good according to the consultant and means they took enough of the area around the tumour to ensure that the cancer was removed.
Bad news was that there was traces of cancer cell spread into the left groin, so all lymph nodes need to be removed from this groin, which means a further operation.
The other good news was that the CT scan from the earlier this month showed that other than the lymph nodes in the groin, the cancer had not spread else where at this point. So once the lymph nodes have been removed, should be all good, but obviously subject to regular follow up testing.
Then this morning I got a call to say I can go in on the first week of August for the lymph node removal, I have to say, its a really quick turn around time, I am so impressed with the NHS and their ability to respond so far.
Regards
J
