Support groups

I think you make a valid point about the importance of real interaction. I have gone to support groups—some Zoom. I found them all through the American Cancer Society. I called their 1800 number, and a representative helped me get connected to resources in my area. Also, it might help to be connected with a mentor. Free! i have a mentor, and I would not give him up. Period. I wrote an article recently on support resources and listed a few options that are available to anyone for free. I will tag someone on here who can perhaps direct you to that article, Scott. Counseling is also something I recommend. There are counselors who specialize in health issues such as skin cancer. Thinking of you, and hope this helps!

I appreciate your post about support groups. I am going to give this some thought. I know that having real time
support can make a real difference. When is your Mohs procedure? Scott skincancer.net moderator

Thoughts about Mohs

thank you for your replies. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and concern. My family has been touched by skin cancer before, but I'm new to these forums. The discussions have been so helpful to help me realize we're not alone in our very real worries.


My Mohs surgery on my face is next week, but I was diagnosed in December. It's been a rough wait. I will try reaching out to the American Cancer Society. I think that's a very good idea too.
