Hi everyone 

Diagnosed last year with Bowens Disease, which was treated.

Now 8 months later, I haven been diagnosed with BCC. Luckily, for me, I signed up to work private health care and will be seeing a dermatologist in September. 

However, I feel a fraud. I know this is cancer and as such serious, but it can be cured. I am playing it down, apologetic even. More so because I know people with 'proper' cancer. I am struggling to quantify these feelings of being a fraud. It's not denial, I know and understand that I am at fault for this. For not looking out for myself as a  teenager. 

I don't want you guys thinking I'm being flippant but I cannot seem to voice these feelings without seemingly coming across as such.

Has anyone else felt this way
