Hi all, I have recently being diagnosed with sebaceous carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. I had the lump removed a few weeks ago. From ultrasound to operation was really quick. My lump has been sent off to be tested for a genetic mutation, muir torre. At the time my surgeon said it would take 6 weeks to get the results, I had a letter to go back to hospital after 3. I’m really scared, I’m trying to stay strong for my parents as my dad has kidney & liver cancer & also for my good friends & I can’t tell them how I truly feel as I don’t want to worry them any further. Just really struggling, when I’m on my own I cry when I’m with people I’m all strong & positive.
thank you for listening
Hi Helanner and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll both find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I've only found one other person in the community whose mentioned having the same type of cancer as you, so I'm tagging Betty661 into my reply and hope she'll come on and tell you about her experience.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
