I’m a little lost, hoping some kind soul will point me in the right direction to some relevant groups!

I had a malignant melanoma (1B) removed from my back a few weeks ago and last week I had a wider excision and a lymph node from both underarms. Had no idea it would be such a long op or how bad the scarring and pain would be. I’ve another week or two before I find out results. I have wonderful family and friends but feeling like Should hold back so not to burden them. I’m usually supporting everyone else and have a positive attitude in life.

Thank you for reading x
