Skin Cancer Occurrances
How many people here have had multiple cases of skin cancer? And how long has it been in between your diagnosis?
I have had 3 cases of skin cancer (2 bcc and 1 scc), all 3 were diagnosed with in a 4 month period.
How do people mentally handle the reappearance of skin cancers?
What a great question for a forum,
. I'm interested in seeing the feedback you get. How long ago was your last diagnosis? - Lori (Team Member) my last diagnosis was 2.5 years ago I'm glad you've had a good stretch so far with no cancer and I hope that trend continues. - Lori (Team Member)
It’s disappointing for sure to have reoccurring cancers pop up but my doctor told me I would be dealing with this for the rest of my life.
I hope your doctor is wrong or that you are least get long breaks between reoccurrences. If ever it starts to take an extreme emotional toll, please reach out, here, to someone you trust, to your doctor or to a therapist. It's a lot to handle. Sometimes, it helps just to vent, especially among people who get it. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
