I was first diagnosed with Melanoma on March 24, 2021. I was 33 years old at the time, and a newly married mother of two daughters, ages 4 and a newly turned one-year-old!
My melanoma was located on my outer right calf. I noticed it when I was shaving my legs. It started to change colors and then kind of scab a bit. I just thought it was dry skin. My husband and I were just married on a beach in North Florida, so I didn’t think much of it. Maybe two weeks later, the spot started to internally itch; it’s very hard to explain. I made a dermatology appointment with the first office that could see me. I hadn’t been to a dermatologist since I was in my teens….
What we do
A malignant Melanoma diagnosis is a process that is often met with uncertainty and disbelief.
Although most people do adjust following a diagnosis of a life-changing illness, cancer can cause a great deal of anxiety, depression and distress for all affected.
We offer a full range of counselling and practical support that can help patients with:
- Coming to terms with a cancer diagnosis
- Adapting to a different life than they hoped for themselves and their families.
- Loss of a loved one and moving through the grief process
- Environmental issues, lack of understanding / support from outside relationships
- Employment issues
- Liaising with services and offering support with attending appointments
