Hi folks,
I'm a newbie to this group but not to Daily Strength. I had two melanoma's removed 7 years ago (6mm nodular) and have just recently had a new primary melanoma in-situ removed.Thus far the melanoma hasn't caused any problems, other than emotional and feeling like I never know if it's over. I never felt like I had control of my melanoma and so stood up in the media (I'm in the UK) and raised awareness of the signs to look for in moles. I have a question though. Although I'm dealing with this fine, my partner is worried I'm about to be lost to this and that she's gonna loose me. Do you guys have any guidance on how I should reassure her? Thanks Posted on 08/18/11, 04:33 pm |

Hi Almost,
I am sorry to hear about your melanoma and hope you are feeling a little better ,mine thus far are bcc's. I can only say imo that we the sufferers tend to deal with it in a different way to our partners or children. The only advice I can give for your partner is stay positive and live for today ,enjoy each new day as it comes ,the what ifs will just get you down, sorry I can't be of more help ! I'm sure someone else will jump in with some words of wisdom soo enough Healing thoughts Gail

Hey Almost... I wholeheartedly agree with Gail......... Like you said, you had the other melanomas 7 years ago and I'm sure you are diligent about checking yourself regularly for any new places or changes on your skin. Reassure your partner the best you can, and like Gail said... doing the ' what if's" isn't going to change anything, only add undue stress, right? Let your partner read some of these posts and maybe that will reassure her when she sees how many people go through these same things?
Wishing you all the best....... big hugs Gaye
