Diagnosed stage 2a have had WLE and SLNB that came back clear which I am so greatful for but looking back over this whole process I find it very overwhelming and feel emotional about it everything has happened so fast that I don't think I've had time to process anything and I'm just struggling to come to terms with it all I had my first lot of 3 monthly checks recently and they found another 2 moles that need removing which will be done tomorrow it is like the worry never ends it's really hard talking about it with people who haven't been through it im hoping being on here will help 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    That's great to read that your WLE and SLNB have come back all clear but it's natural to still feel emotional about your diagnosis.

    I can see that you've already joined and posted in the melanoma group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support. I'm a member of that group myself so I'll respond more fully to your post there.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
