Hi everyone, I have just joined tonight. I have stage 2 melanoma and I had my WLE and SLNB back at the end of October. I get my results from the biopsy tomorrow and I just feel so nervous. My surgeon had said to me that he thinks it will more than likely be negative but my head is running a million miles an hour thinking of the what ifs.
I’ve just turned 22 and I don’t have family around me (abusive parents) I have my boyfriend and his family but feel such a burden to them talking about it all the time. I suppose the point in this post is just to hear from some people who have been through this before me and get some advice. Thank you.
So sorry you are having to go through this at such a young age and without the support of your own family. You don’t have long to wait now for your results and hopefully it will be good news tomorrow. But if it’s not there are plenty of people here who can offer you advice and help. Let us know how you get on.
