confusion

A couple of months back i had a mole removed which turned out to be melanoma so i had to have a larger area removed. To hear the words you have skin cancer ... my life flashed before me and having a 4 year old son ... i have no words how scared i was! This may sound odd but because I've not had to have chemo or anything like that i kinda feel like a fake, if that makes sense?!?! Almost not worthy of calling myself a cancer patient! Although I'm still soo scared incase it spreads to my lynph nodes :(

    When you hear the words "its cancer" then you will never be the same again so no you are not a fake it seems that you are one of the ones who got caught early.

    Worry comes with this illness and we all have to learn our own ways of coping.  Just be aware and enjoy your son.
