How Old Were You When You Were Diagnosed?
I am 44 and just found out I have the most serious phase of Melanoma
What Symptoms Did You Have Before Being Diagnosed?
None- just noticed a mole changing shape.
Tell Us About Your Diagnosis and Treatment
I will have my first consult with a surgeon to see where we go from here. Any clues as to what I might expect. Is Chemo and Radiation part of the treatment process?
How Has Having Skin Cancer Affected Your Life?
The news is still so new so it hasn't all sunk in yet. Mainly trying to determine if there has every been a family history of skin cancer. Also, rethinking what cosmeceutical products, etc should I avoid if I should begin chemo or radiation. How long with the process last. Sunblock has always been a part of my regimen, but will be more so now.
Advice
- I am actually looking for advice from anyone who has had Melanoma and gone through the treatments. For those of us who have used sunblock, it is hard to believe you can get cancer.
