Hello everyone!I want to share with you my story from getting diagnosed to living with skin cancer and I want advice. I'm new here. My name is Marie Carmack I'm 38 yo. Mom of a boy and a beautiful girl. I am diagnosed with skin cancer in the beginning of 2022. It’s very hard to describe my emotions and loved ones when I was diagnosed… especially kid's emotions... Of course we didn’t know any clinics, we would never have thought that this was waiting for one of us. We started reading a lots of articles about cancer. As I remember my little Rebecca found first symptoms somewhere here In that moment I was sure I'll get diagnosed. Of course I try not to talk about cancer not to cause even more pain to my family but I know how much they care about me and maybe it's a big mistake to hide my emotions. In june of 2022 I started my treatment which is still going on. It’s hard to say how I’m feeling now but I feel lonely all the time… I hope I’ll find a bit of support here I just want to share my emotions and just to talk. My friend Jill advised me Carenity.us (her uncle is a patient) and after a few days here I found similar people with similar problems so I feel now not so alone how I was before. I know how imagination works and I understand how loved ones can think about things worse than they really are but I'm still afraid to make them constantly think about it. But the feeling of expecting something bad does not leave me. Autumn is my favourite season and I’m fighting to see it again! How do you share your emotions with your family? Marie

Hi @MarieCarmack

How are you doing today?

Thank you for starting this discussion. In a previous discussion, Carenity members share their diagnosis stories. Sometimes difficult to communicate with loved ones and patients feel a bit alone. There might be some helpful stories or people you would like to connect with in this discussion: I am feeling along and dont have anyone to talk to. The discussion: Caring for a loved one might also be able to give you some insight as to the perspective of a family memeber.

I am sure there are many in the Carenity community that can relate to the struggles you are having. I will tag a few that might be willing to share their stories.

I hope you don't mind being tagged, but I hope that you feel comfortable sharing with Marie. How did you first tell your loved ones about your diagnosis? Are you able to talk about your emotions? Did it ever get easier to share your feelings? Where did you seek support?

Take care everyone,

Lizzi

Many experts believe that with a combined approach to prevention, cancer incidence could drop dramatically. Existing rates could drop by 80-85% in just a few years after people start following doctors' advice. I urge everyone to prevent disease, including cancer, which can be controlled by [This content had been moderated by an administrator] , as it is much more beneficial for both the patient and the doctor.
