Hi all.
It is going to be another night of no sleep again
A few people have been so helpful to me on this forum, but I am so worried about dying and leave my wife and our 3 boys very soon.
I got my results back from the hospital this afternoon and the doctor from the hospital was so sorry to have to tell me that I have superficial Melanoma.
It was 3.9mm which is big by the sound of it.
I am now waiting for another call / letter from Chrities hospital in Manchester.
He said I will see a plastic surgeon and also have scans done, lymph nodes etc.
I asked him about how long I had left and he did not really want to speculate to much as I had not had not had anything else done as yet.
But it did look like if it has spread I have about 5 years left and if it hasn't spread about 10 years or maybe a bit more left.
Latchbrook has been very helpful on here as well as Miranda and a couple of others.
I can't sleep now just wondering how long I have left with my family.
I am reaching out to see if any other people out there have been in this situation as well as the other helpful people that have been helpful.
Thank you all.
I just feel like my world is coming to an end.
From a very very worried husband and dad.
Thank you.
Simon.
Exactly Simon, it's messing with your mental health. So have you spoken to the nurses on the Macmillan Support line yet or spoken to your GP or applied for the free counselling that Macmillan will provide?

I would pick up the phone to the Macmillan nurses now Grinch . You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
"Never regret a day in your life, good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience"
It's perfectly normal to be worried but when it's making you so anxious Simon, you need more help than we can give.
There is definitely hope though because if you look back to Pip93's post in this thread you'll see that he said his mother's diagnosis was worse than yours and she has not only survived but is now NED (no evidence of disease).
