A warm welcome to the forum Lynn although I'm sorry to hear you've recently been diagnosed with skin cancer.

No doubt you are contending with a lot of thoughts and feelings at the moment but I'm glad you've reached out as our members know how scary it can be to receive a cancer diagnosis so you are not alone and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

I know you've been doing some reading about your diagnosis already but if you'd like to find out a bit more about the procedure you're due to have and the potential treatment afterwards then do head over to the skin cancer section of the site.

Our friendly and supportive team of cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to talk things through with them as well.

Our community are here for you Lynn and will do all they can to support you on this journey.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
