New Here

I would like to connect with others that have been through Melanoma Cancer.

I recently was diagnosed, biopsied Jan. Met with Skin Cancer Dr and Facial reconstruction Dr yesterday. Surgeries are not scheduled yet, looking apprx 1 mth out for treatment.

Feeling a little lost, trying to see/find what I can know if surgery is the right direction. My husband doesn't think so. But says he will support my decision.

All my emotions are soooo jumbled at this time.

PINK is my color since having breast cancer 21 years ago. I rarely see PINK representation. Magenta hair alters my mood greatly..

Knowledge leads to better Advocation

When I went through chemo+radiation for cancer, the after effects I was told could be temporary, are chronic.

I learned #Advocacy

I research my illnesses daily, because learning is constant.
