  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that you've had to have a second excision on your leg after your skin cancer returned.

    I've had various lesions removed over the years but have not had a skin graft so don't know how long it should take for the excision and donor sites to stop being painful. Hopefully the nurse was able to answer your question when you saw her yesterday.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
