Hi
Just want to say hi it is 1 week since I had wide local excision for melanoma vulval cancer.
Welcome.
I am 9 weeks. I had a labia removed which had a melanoma on it. It was 4.6mm deep and about 2cm round, maybe a bit more.
How is the healing going? How old are you? Do you work? Do you have a village looking after you?
I'm happy to chat about recovery or anything. Is this your first operation or ongoing treatment?
