Hi, I’m sorry for writing this as I know there’s a lot of people going through r more than me, but I’ve just been diagnosed with skin cancer. I know it’s not life threatening (hopefully) but I’ve had oesophageal cancer this past year too. I’m struggling g tonight. Feeling very sorry for myself. Trying to be brave for those around me but it’s hit me hard today as I’ve just got date for my next endoscopy and biopsies. No date yet for skin cancer removal.
Hi Teach6019d8
Never feel you need to apologise or compare your cancer journey with others. If you are struggling then we are here to help.
Going through a diagnosis and treatment for one cancer and then having a diagnosis of another type is particularly hard to deal with.
I found during my cancer journey that often I would feel more emotional and stressed when I had appointments coming up and maybe it could be possible that any natural anxiety about your endoscopy appointment could also be unsettling.
Why not give the Support Line a call and chat things through with someone? There is someone there each day from 8am-8pm.
I hope that your endoscopy appointment goes well and that you soon have a date for your skin cancer appointment.
In the meantime if there is anything you need, then you know where we are.
Jane
