Ultrasound after WLE Leg

Forums General Melanoma Community Ultrasound after WLE Leg

      My surgeon seems anxious to have me do the ultrasound of my lower leg right away and I don't mind. I guess she just wants to see what it looks like right after surgery to remove the tumor. The lab indicated that all of the melanoma was removed. Anybody else getting ultrasounds after surgery and periodically for a year after? I'm also getting the Pet Scan next week.
