Feeling Alone and Scared

Posted in Group: 

I just found out last week I have a SCC on my face. I'm schedule for Mohs surgery next Monday.
It sounds like it is the early stages from the pathology report but from what I understanding they don't know until surgery.
I feel very alone and scared!

I can imagine how you feel. Dont feel alone, just know that there are other people going through what you are going through. Just try to relax and try not to think about it. Listen to some soothing music without any words..something that'll calm your nerves. If you feel any more worse than you do now...I am here if you ever need to talk,okay? Hope all goes well!!

It took me a couple of days to figure out how the support posts work. Thank you both for your comments. Monica you are right in that the unknown is the worst part. I am coming to realize that what ever the outcome is it is out of my hands. I'm thankful for my faith and am leaning hard on it. You both are now in my prayers!

I'll try making Apple juice out of lemons this week:)

Two more days till the Mohs surgery.
I'm more scared for my family than for myself. If my cancer has spread how will my husband, college son and 10 year old daughter handle it?????
I feel like I'm living a nightmare and just want to wake up. When I wake in the morning I realize it's not just a bad dream it's real, Very, Very real!!!!
I hate that I'm feeling so sorry for myself....... So many emotions and so many fears!
I believe in God and life after this world. That is were I draw my comfort! I keep asking God to please carry me through this!

Good luck on your sergury, please be strong, I know cancer has very scary name, but believe me now a days there are treatments available even for advanced cancer. I work for a cancer canter and I see cancer patients everyday, keep your morals high, that is the most important thing.

I wanted to share a video with you, type "Malignant Melanoma treated in 4 days" on youtube. That is the video of a patient here where I work. I'm just so happy for her.

Seeing people who are getting result from their treatment will make your more comfortable, and will help you to go over your fears.

Best wishes for you and hope you get well very soon :)

I am hoping that it was caught early. For me the scariest time was not knowing how bad it was. I was a lot more nervous the first time cancer was found because I did not know much about MOHs surgery. It can be a long process but is great in that they really are able to take very little beyond the cancerous cells away.
