I can understand at your age and comorbidities its very difficult for any surgery. But since its melanoma better to get second advise and you should keep watch on the lesion.
Before surgery we need to stop any anticoagulant and hence your doctor might have decided to stop Xperelto for few days as if he decide to operate then there wont be much bleeding complication.
