Hi
Iv recently been diagnosed a 2nd time with melanoma pt1a again. I didn't handle the last one to well I was traumatised after building myself back up for 3 years iv got the same stage again. I'm devastated. I'm 36 have 2 lovely young children amd husband ,I can only think the worse will happen now. I don't no how to stay positive I'm completed lost.
Has anyone else had mutiple melanomas? thought i would be one and done.
Hi Penny2022
I'm sorry to read that you've just been diagnosed with a second melanoma 3 years after your first one. Hopefully, your outcome after a WLE will be the same as when you had your first one. However, I do understand how difficult it must be for you having to deal with this all again.
You say that "thought I would be one and done" but, unfortunately, if you've already had a melanoma you are at higher risk of getting another.
You also mention that "I can only think the worse will happen now" but, as this melanoma is the same Stage as your previous one, there's a strong probability that the outcome will be the same.
I'm sure there are others in the group who've had more than one and hopefully they'll be along soon.
I know it's hard but try to remember that no amount of worrying will change the future but it will ruin the present.
((hugs))

Hi latchbrook
I'm so sorry iv only seen this in my notifications.
It's so incredible tough I just keep thinking there's more on my body that could be turning to a higher stage.
I hope you are ok? I have read your profile.
I have such dark thoughts it's really taking its toll on me.
I'm having wide excision couple weeks and few other moles being removed.
I was discharged Oct last year but been put on waiting list and kept ringing to get two moles removed.
This melanoma was nothing like my first it was pink with little bit of a brown streak in it but I new it wasn't quite right.
Thank you for replying
