Support

Alongside the medical team that look after me, over the last few years I have used three main sources of support: Melanoma Focus, Melanoma UK and Macmillan Cancer Support.
There are other sources of support - some I have also listed below.

There are also local charities who may be able to offer support, ask your team for advice on what is available in your area.

I hope that you find them useful. If you have questions about your own diagnosis, treatment and care always ask your medical team.

MELANOMA FOCUS

Melanoma Focus is for patients and professionals. Great source of information on all aspects of Melanoma and they also have a helpline which I have found really useful.

MELANOMA UK

For anyone affected by Melanoma, this is a great charity that has helped me massively. A great source of information and a very supportive helpline.

MACMILLAN

Great source of information about cancer - not as helpful about Melanoma as the dedicated charities - I have found their support line really helpful.
