Hi, I just need to put my thoughts into word and get them out... I was diagnosed with skin cancer November 2023. Had the lymph nodes checked they had traces of the melanoma cells, moving on from that I was then checked for my lungs as there was a possibility,(before all of this I am fit and healthy,) that came back clear then something was found on my breast so had that checked while having that checked they spotted something on my other breast, anyway that came back clear thank goodness. But my emotions have never been so up and down....an absolute rollercoaster!! That was all in 2024..been having scans every three months..so bringing to 2025 I had my scan which was meant to be last....but no something was found in my brain...so being told that just was something else...so I wasn't being discharged from the hospital at this point, needed to wait and have another scan in three months time to see if what I had was to grow....so it did grow...had the meeting with my consultant and it was melanoma it had spread to my brain..so now being told I have stage 4 secondary melanoma cancer....well how do you respond to that...stock, tears, disbelief....I think I had the lot..and within 3 weeks I've had more scans a mask fitted and targeted radiotherapy.....how do you process that.....I've got so many emotions going in me....but at the same time I feel so numb! Sorry for the long paragraph I just needed to get out...
