Thank you, it's been two months since my WLE. I've been having a bad time in trying to control my fear.

@MelanomaInstituteAustralia 3 года назад

Hope your WLE is healing well and your fear is reducing.

Hi Brian- Did you discover the recurrences at your skin checks? What stage was your original melanoma? How are you doing today?

@brianleitnerthehistorygeek 2 года назад

@@KP-tn9cq Hi yes the recurrences were discovered during quarterly dermatology checks. I was originally stage 3 and still am today. Right I have some good and bad news. I had 10 tumors 8 you could see on the surface 2 were internal. the 8 on the surface are now completely gone. I am planning to have surgery this month to remove the other 2. The trial that I am in now works great for tumors on the surface.

I'm sorry to hear this. That's a shitty situation to be in. I've just been diagnosed, they got me in days later to have it removed. I'm waiting on news to see if they got it all out. I'm very anxious. How are you now? I hope you're doing well, and I appreciate you sharing.
