Of course, every case is different, but the honesty isn't.

I was diagnosed with a stage Ib melanoma in March 2012 (.7mm, slight ulceration,mitotic rate <1). I am so grateful to see someone who has the same worries as I do. Seeing your posts make me feel less crazy. Although, my friends/family are amazing, it is really hard to talk to them about how consuming my diagnosis has become. I hope your support group helps you out.

Sometimes you have to go with your gut- if you think something is wrong, keep investigating. <br />My melanoma was Stage 1a; I still worry every time I have a weird pain or feeling somewhere...it really is something that messes with the psyche.<br />Hang in there and keep trying things. I hope the support group helps.<br />Glad I found your blog, I enjoy reading it.

It totally is that way and I wish it wasn't. It's weird because there are days, weeks even, where I am totally fine but then a random thought enters and screws everything up! I am glad I finally decided to do the support group and I really hope it helps :/ Glad you're doing better and I like seeing your pictures from your trip; it looked like an amazing time!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392058000558794081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4893664899615238831.post-22832323415288876912013-08-20T12:03:44.670-07:002013-08-20T12:03:44.670-07:00Yay for negative results! Boo for the way you'...Yay for negative results! Boo for the way you're feeling. I feel like I can relate a bit. When I first moved to SF I fell in to a bad depression. BAD. I should have been out networking to find a salon or meeting people, anything. But I couldn't leave my room (we stayed with my sister in law for four months). I couldn't get out of bed. I cried and cried. <br />Everyone said to snap out of it, go outside, find a job... I had to figure it out. I eventually found the right salon for me and it was much easier after that. But yeah, nothing makes you feel more crazy than people telling you you're crazy and to snap out of it. It doesn't help. At all. I'm always here to chat. I keep meaning to respond to your last message, but keep forgetting. -jesyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967163394695812053noreply@blogger.com
