My mental health is starting to take a hit alot just recently,
When I was 1st diagnosed with cancers I was brushed off for over a year by my GP saying it was just a mole then I finally was listened to and got diagnosed, had the op and it was removed but it did start to spread. After this I was told with it moving it could show up at some point somewhere else. I'm constantly afraid of it coming back. I've since had another mole looked at and again brushed off until I stubbornly said I want it removing off my face I don't care about a scar. Once again it was cancer even though I was told its fine its not cancer blah blah,blah.. After my last op I was told my skin cancers don't look like cancer so now not only am I scared about it being in my body from when it spread but now I'm scared that it's on my body in places I can't see and it's been looked at but they have thought islts not cancerous.
I cant really talk to anyone because I have to be the strong one or if I do then I'm told I'm over thinking and worrying about it for no reason
How do others manage to push the thoughts aside, I have a 3year old and 1 year old and I cant imagine ever having to explain this terrible diagnosis to them
