I have been diagnosed with melanoma within my lymph node in my groin, they believe its from an old melanoma removed 8 years ago. Scary times and feel very over whelmed at the moment. Scared it'll spread prior to getting the op
I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with melanoma Sally.
I know this must be very scary and it's completely understandable to be feeling overwhelmed at the moment, but the Cancer Chat community are here for you and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.

Do keep posting if you find it helps Sally and remember that we will be here to support you on this journey.
Thanks Steph. I had a meeting with a cancer nurse yesterday very helpful I still feel like its not real not happening to me but it is and I have to take each day now and beat it x
