Eccrine Carcinoma

Hello! 

Has anyone got any experience with eccrine carcinoma? I was just told yesterday that I have this and I am super worried and anxious. Just wondering if anyone else has gone through it. 

Thanks 

  • Hello Effie32

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been given a cancer diagnosis. It's understandably a difficult time and natural that you are feeling worried and anxious. 

    As eccrine cancer is a rare cancer it can be difficult to connect with others who have been through the same journey. However, we have lots of members here who will understand some of the thoughts and feelings you're experiencing right now. Hopefully, some of them will reply to offer their advice and support. 

    Did the team give you any indication of what the treatment plan will be? Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for news and I think most members who have been through a cancer journey will agree that it's often a little easier once you know what those next steps will be. 

    We do have some information on our website about rare cancers that you might find helpful but I'd also suggest getting in touch with our team of nurses. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any additional advice, information, and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do keep in touch Effie. We'll do our best to listen and support you through this journey. 

    Best wishes,
