My mum was diagnosed with melanoma in 2017 had a big op but what I really want to ask is how other people deal with it emotionally, it’s back but my mum is crazy anxious and that puts me on tender hooks
Hello torchwhistle and welcome. I don't know much about melanoma myself but have come across this helpline which may be of use to you. Also of course other people on this forum may come to your aid and talk to you about their experiences. Best wishes. Annie
I'm sorry your mum and you are in this position and it's difficult to answer your question in one comment. The link to Melanoma UK is a great start - Gill, the founder, is a great friend of mine and she is really helpful with advice if you give her a ring. There is also a support group for melanoma patients and their relatives on Facebook. It's called Melanomamates and is a closed group so anything discussed is private and secure. It's members are all patients, relatives, carers or charity supporters like Melanoma UK so you may find it helpful. Meanwhile, if you want to give me further details about your mum's current diagnosis in a private message I will be more than happy to pass on my experience and advice.
