Plastic Surgeon for Melanoma
We are visiting our former home in Connecticut where a dermatologist friend removed a couple of growths two weeks ago. The biopsy report came back today and one of the spots was a melanoma about 1.25 cm in size. It will require not only removal but also a sentinel node biopsy.
While my buddy said it's not urgent, it should be addressed within the next month. I can remain in CT for a couple extra weeks and have it done here but if there is nodal involvement, it would require chemo, etc. and that treatment would have to be done at home in TV.
So my question is: Has anyone had a melanoma larger than 1 cm removed with a sentinel node biopsy surgery here in TV? Can you recommend a plastic surgeon, etc.?
As always, thanks for your assistance.
