3.9mm Melanoma

Hi all.

Very bad news today, the hospital called and sai I have Superficial Melanoma 3.9mm

I have heard this is stage 2 

My head is in bits.

Doctor mentioned plastic surgeon, cancer hospital for scans etc.

Depending on how far it has spread, it looks like I have 1 to 2 years left with my family.

I knew it would be very bad news.

Simon.

  • Hello Simon

    I'm sorry to hear that you had a confirmed diagnosis earlier this week. Undoubtedly it's been a difficult few days. 

    I know that you've been chatting with AngieT over on another thread and that she's already shared some great advice and links to useful information with you. I just wanted to drop a reply to you here to remind you that if you ever feel it might help to chat things through with one of our nurses you're most welcome to give them a call. They're happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
