Stage 1V melanoma

I know I have had melanoma for years but lately last few weeks my breathing is affected and another sign for me not long to go now. I moved to a different area five weeks ago and even my GP doesn't have updated medical records in fact no one does. I have dermatology appointment on 8th October and had to go to doctors and complain about pain I was in to get seen again as I had biopsy two years ago. Neither the doctor or where I'm living has a clue how much pain I'm in and just being left in a bed to look after myself I just don't have the energy anymore. No one to ever talk to where I live and I cry everyday alone with my suffering. I just had to say what I'm experiencing now and if you have any suggestions where I can get actual help from as been totally neglected here now.
