Diagnosed with two melanomas yesterday, I’ve told my immediate family, whilst everyone is trying to be supportive and positive I just want to hide away, I don’t want to talk to anyone, I did the grocery shopping this morning and the things I usually do on a Saturday but it’s like I’m acting in a play, I just feel like going to bed and staying there. I don’t recognise myself. Im so weak compared to so many on these forums, I don’t think I can cope with what lies ahead.
I’m sorry for being so miserable when so many of you are coping with difficult circumstances , I’m ashamed I feel so sorry for myself.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
