Hello
I am New here and just wanted to connect with people who understand. Most days I am coping well but today I feel so overwhelmed and alone.
I have stage 3c nodular melanoma. Large deposit found in one sentinel lymph node, but worryingly with spread outside the node. Then results of PET scan came back. Everything normal except ‘ill Defined area upper outer quadrant right breast’. Terrified somehow it has got across to the breast. Don’t know what to think or how to control my fear.
I’m so sorry to hear this! I do completely understand how you’re feeling as I feel a roller coaster of emotions too. Sometimes I can be fine and then suddenly something happens and I’m crying my eyes out. The time between scans and hearing results are awful and everything goes through your head. I feel I’m damaged goods and not good enough anymore. It’s so sad as usually quite a happy person. Sorry to talk about myself but understand what you’re going through. I really hope all comes back clear for you but hope you have people around to help support even if it’s just a tight hug with no talking! ️
