Morning feeling mixed up since diagnosis of melanoma

Here for support from others going through the same thing as feel very lonely and upset . People say family and friends are a help I just seem forgotten and hardly hear from anyone starting to think maybe aren’t friends . Been diagnosed with melanoma 4.1 mm having a wide local excision on Wednesday and been waiting 3 weeks for ct scan results . Having issues walking under investigation , basically sitting in home with my thoughts and lack of sleep .Want to be positive but really is hard , seeing friends and family on social media seems like life goes on feel insignificant .

    Hi there, lots of cancer sufferers feel like you, but people don't know how to react.   When my hubby felt like that I put the word out that he felt no one cares, guess what, they do.  I know you are suffering,  but it's still you despite the cancer.   Be honest with friends and I'm sure people will rally round.  Or you can chat to us!!  Xx

    Thanks was let down by a good friend today , not sure because haven’t had my results yet and nothing to add  , but am prettified as been on the internet and seems like so much more and spreading . Hubby just says everything is fine it’s going to be good and feel like im having a melt down but just smile say I’m ok . The waiting for the results seems endless and I know so many on here in the same boat . Trying to take each day but really difficult , feeling anxiety for my surgery tomorrow too . Thank you sorry to be all doom and gloom xx

    Do not go on the Internet,  it's lethal!  This site has nearly all the information you need and people to help.  Partners don't know what to say, we aren't going through it, you are.  Tell them your worried or they think you're alright,  you don't need to be told alls well when you don't know.  I'm sorry your friend let you down don't dwell on it people are trying to live their own lives I'm sure she'll be there next time.  Good luck for tomorrow and let us k ow the results.  Hugs your way, Caz
