I had stage 2 melanoma on my first review they discovered another melanoma, but this time it was only in situ. I am over due my review as I just can't bring myself to go .its supposed to be every 3 months for next 3 years, is this necessary?
Can I just point out that, had you not had your first review, you would not have known you had another melanoma and it would not have been caught quickly enough before it grew. That is why these regular checks are important. It also means you get used to what they look out for and you can then check yourself in between appointments. I know it's stressful going to appointments but they do catch things early and it means you don't have to have more invasive surgery and drug treatment in the future. So please arrange your next review. Hopefully it will all be fine and you will have peace of mind. Those 3 years will actually pass quickly.
Thankyou for your kind words, I will make an appointment for a check up. When I was diagnosed it never seemed to worry me as I thought it's only skin cancer and they just cut it away and that's that. But I just knew very little about melonoma it was not until my review that I thought this is more serious than I realized. Hopefully this time if everything is fine it will stop me feeling this way.
