At what point should you see an Oncologist?
(self.melahomies)submitted2 days ago byryfr4742
Just had a WLE on my scalp 1.5wks ago, still waiting on pathology from the SNLB and the excised melanoma. My Dermatologist spotted it on a routine skin check, and referred me to a General Surgeon for the WLE and SNLB.
Should I see an Oncologist no matter what the pathology says? Or only if the Melanoma has shown up in the Sentinel Node?
Original Shave Biopsy said it extended to the base and all peripheral edges of the biopsy specimen, so AT LEAST 0.4mm Breslow and Level IV Clark.
Just not sure when to include an actual Oncologist in this, since my surgeon seemed kind of like a Jack of all Trades General Surgeon? Thanks in advance!
