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.
