29F just been diagnosed with a large acral melanoma on the sole of my foot approx 2.5cm by 1cm. Plastic surgeon told me recovery will be “hell” and that I have to be awake for surgery and they will only do it under local?! Has anyone else had an acral melanoma of this size removed?

They are refusing to do a biopsy and just want to cut the whole thing out straightaway then understand next steps. They think it’s hopefully just in situ and hasn’t spread but we don’t know.

Any advice would be great
