        Hi Resilient4Life. I'm four days post WLE for a lesion on my back. My dermatologist got me in for the procedure just a few days after the diagnosis so I don't know that I've processed everthing, either. My incision is about four inches. It is bigger than I thought it would be. But it's on my back so I'm just not going to care. They also did a scrape biopsy on my cheek for a second suspicious lesion.

        How are you feeling? How is the incision? I also developed some irritation around the incision sights that are a bit uncomfortable and slightly itchy.

        Hang in there.

              Just wanted to share that I also have had to go through two excisions for in situ and in my case it was because they didn't get clean margins. My derm. said they have guidelines, but sometimes they need to slice a bit more. No fun, but worth it.

                    Any diagnosis of melanoma is terrifying at first. Everyone needs time to adjust. Give her a break.
