Welcome to the forum P21 although I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with melanoma and for the worry this new growth on your left side is causing.

This must be such a stressful time for you P21, so if you've noticed this is starting to affect your mental health, do be sure to discuss this with your GP as they will be able to support you and help you find ways to stress and anxiety.

Our members know only too well how difficult this can be though, so you are not alone P21, and hopefully some of them will be in touch with you soon to share their experiences and advice.

I do hope the links I've included will prove useful, but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

We're thinking of you P21 and sending all our strength and support to you at this very challenging time.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
