"Melanoma removal"

I had a good experience with the operation. I have had an adverse reaction to needles in the past and at my suggestion Dr Mark was more than happy to meet with me and work out a contingency plan, which involved a bit of pre-op valium and some skin desensitising cream on my hands.

I think the operation was a success and the whole experience was very caring and professional. I, without thinking, removed the needle from the back of my hand when I was having my cup of tea and sandwiches and I passed out with a very low heart rate but, even though it was my fault and it made extra work for them, I felt everyone there was very reassuring and kind.
