Hi everyone, so I was told in February that the mole I had removed was melanoma stage 2. I have since been referred to St James where I am attending clinic there on the 24th April to discuss WLE and SNLB. I feel constantly tired and have almost daily headaches and in general I just feel awful!? Does anyone else feel like this? I’m thinking of asking my employer for some time out as I’ve continued to work throughout since my referral, surgery and then subsequent diagnosis. Am I being overly sensitive? I’m so tearful lately.
Hi Nap and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
Like you, I was diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma but had already 'retired' so didn't need to make a decision about whether to carry on working or not. There's no right or wrong answer to this so you just have to do what feels right for you.
When you have a minute, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
