Hello, my names Rachel, I’m 34 and I’ve recently been diagnosed with Melanoma. I came away from my initial diagnosis feeling rather optimistic, but now I can’t help but fear the worst, I’ve got myself tied up in knots that I won’t see my children grow up.
I’m awaiting the date for my WLE and skin graft and I’m dreading getting the results. The surgeon at diagnosis stated that my melanoma was 0.9mm and I was initially reassured as he gave me a five year plan but now I can’t get out of my head that when the WLE comes back I’m going to have some spread.
I don’t really know what I want from this post, other than a little bit of reassurance from people that have experienced melanoma, not just the worst that I’ve read on the internet that is scaring me half to death.
