Skin cancer

ive had this for two years, 3 month checks now. I don't know how to say this... .... I feel sometimes it's like a competition, some people minimise it opposed to other cancers, it hurts me. I really don't want to moan, I've had four ops, not pleasant, next one may lose my eye sight in one eye ...but it's still not seen as a serious cancer. I feel for every single person with any kind of cancer...so much x

 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Linda.

    You don't need to apologise for anything you say here. The forum is a place for you to share your feelings and vent if you need to so I'm glad you have found us and have shared your thoughts. I'm sorry you feel that way about your cancer Linda, but I just want you to know that nobody here would think that. Members here know how difficult the journey can be regardless of what type of cancer it is and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support. Also, if you feel like you want to talk to someone about this do give our cancer nurses a call. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and they are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Do you know when your next operation is? I hope you don't have to wait too long and that you don't lose your sight in your eye.

    Come back and let us know how it goes if you can Linda, we'll be thinking of you.

    All the best,
