Hi Everyone,
I am still experiencing a variety of emotions since being diagnosed with stage 1 melanoma 18 months ago, this has been hightened since being discharged from dermatology and will no longer have any follow up/ surveillance appointments. While stage 1 melanoma may not be as serious as more advanced melanomas and I should be grateful for the good outcome, I find myself feeling, sad, angry, lost, anxious, guilty. Additionally I am finding myself thinking I can’t be bothered with the skin care advice given by the dermatology staff. I really don’t know why I am feeling all these different emotions, I feel like that I should be over these emotions. Has anyone else encountered this as well? And what strategies did you have to cope?
