All,

New here so just saying 'hi'.

Was diagnosed with melanoma/skin cancer back in April but currently waiting on some sentinal lymph node biopsy results to see if has travelled.

Looking forward to watching the ladies football semi-final tonight on BBC so I can forget about the 'c' word for a couple of hours.

Anyone else going to watch it? 

  • Hi Elmer 

    I’m Penny, I’ve not been formally diagnosed but have received a‘clinical diagnosis of melanoma’. I have my first appointment tomorrow with plastic surgery team so hopefully get some more information there. 
    sorry to hear that you are on this journey! 
    I will be watching the football too, with everything crossed! 

  • Hi Penny,

    Well that game was another sporting rollercoaster. Great example for all of us on perseverance and never giving up.

    Sorry to hear that you are also on the melanoma path.

    I hope your appointment with the plastic surgery team goes well.

    There was talk of a skin graft to cover the two cuts they recently made on my head but luckily they decided I had quite rubbery skin on my head and they just stitched it all back together. It’s a little on the tight at the moment but it’s slowly easing as everything settles and stretches,

    Do keep us posted on your journey.
