  • HI,

    I'm sorry you have been diagnosed with skin cancer. Which type of skin cancer do you have & what Stage are you (I'm assuming you've had a biopsy).

    The symptoms you are describing aren't usually linked to skin cancer unless they are a side effect of any drug treatment you are on (immunotherapy or targeted therapy). If you aren't on any drugs therapy it's more a possibility that you have caught an infection of some type or it's a bad case of stress. Please seek help from your GP or your hospital team if the symptoms persist. Good luck & I hope all turns out well for you,

    Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009)
