Facebook Support Groups:
There are also a range of private UK Facebook support groups for people with melanoma/or relatives/carers of people with melanoma. Many people find it a huge comfort to connect with others in similar situations, however, we understand that this route of support does not benefit all, as everyone’s experience is different. There is always the option to join the group and leave at a later point if your needs are not met.
