Skin Cancer support

I have just had the results back from my skin photo and they have said its cancer but dont know which type. I have left this for ages. I am worried. Having a biopsy in a few weeks. Not to sure what to expect and scared what the results will say. 

  • A very warm welcome to our Cancer Chat Coralrose, although I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with skin cancer.

    It's completely natural to be feeling scared about what's to come but I hope it helps to know that there are some many others within our community who have felt exactly the same way after finding out they have cancer, so you are not alone Coralrose, and hopefully some of our members will stop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    You can find out more about the two different types of skin cancer - non melanoma skin cancer and melanoma skin cancer - on our website but if you have any further questions or concerns you can give our team of cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to give you the information you're seeking and put your mind at ease whilst you wait for your biopsy.

    We're thinking of you Coralrose and will be by your side on every step of this journey.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
