I have been diagnosed with Poroid Hidradenocarcinoma, a very rare cancer of the sweat glands. Has anyone else been diagnosed with this?
Hi Martine and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
I did a search of the Community and apart from your post, there were no other posts about Poroid Hidradenocarcinoma.
I see that porous Hidradenocarcinoma is classed as a skin cancer so you may want to join our….
……. support group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support. To connect in with the group please click on the link above…….
……. once the group page opens you will see a [Black - Click to Join - Banner] at the bottom of the page, click in this box and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.
You can then introduce yourself to the group by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.
You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
The Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.
Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
