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.

  • Thanks for the reply angie I will try and remember tomorrow to get in touch with hospital which did biopsy but knowing that NHS they will probably want proof of id before giving details even to me but worth a go and how are you coping Angie are your family supporting you okay in this difficult time. I think your so brave that even now you're helping others still and I appreciate your help with me. No one has talked to me for so long I can't remember I feel like I'm socially rejected because of my cancer all I see and hear when I do manage to get out is Tut's from the younger generation and your holding up the cue when fumbing to pay in a local shop with my politically correct Google pay on my phone. I feel like I've been asleep for ten years don't even know how those electric bikes work but keep tripping up on the ones left in middle of pavement. It's nice to have a chuckle at the kids now but don't let them see you or they won't be to happy with you. Hope you're reply as I want to know how your coping and if anyone is caring for you. Keep a smile as my friend always used to say. Peter.
