In Situ Melanoma
Hi friends - I just had my 3rd WLE for my 3rd InSitu Melanoma in 5 years. While I feel extremely lucky this was caught early I’m living in terror that there is another Melanoma somewhere on my extremely fair freckly skin. I feel like it is brewing somewhere and this will kill me. I’m 45.
I’m going to put all my complaints out there right now as I feel like you are the only people who understand. I’m a little more than 48 hours post WLE on my calf and this sucks! It hurts to walk, I’m scared to rip open my stitches. And I’m swollen.
Also why do people act like this is no big deal. Like I’m being a baby hobbling around or saying I’m scared that I’ve been diagnosed with cancer 3 times. Yes very lucky it was stage 0 but still. Plus getting your skin chopped off while you are awake isn’t exactly fun!!!!
Thanks for listening .
