Chronic Disease and Chronic Condition Support Community

People with skin cancer or melanoma are often told how lucky they are, which makes it hard to admit they are scared. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with serious illness, where your worry is taken seriously.

Live groups available daily.

Good mornings, goals and gratitude's

Tue, Sep 29 | 6:00AM - 7:30AM UTC

Welcome to Good Mornings, Goals, and Gratitudes. Each morning, we meet with open hearts and tired eyes to greet the day gently, set a daily goal, and choose one small act of care for ourselves. Then, in return, we are grounded, lighter, and reminded that we are not alone. In the GGG, we start our day with positive quotes, journal prompts, self-care activities, daily intentions, and a goal we aim to achieve that day, followed by a moment of gratitude. Join us for a gentle, caring way to start your day.

Topic context

Understanding skin cancer

Skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell and squamous cell cancers, can mean surgery that leaves visible scars, followed by regular skin checks for years. People are often told it is "only skin cancer", which can make real fear feel like an overreaction.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with skin cancer

Peer support can help with skin cancer because being dismissed is isolating. In a group, members understand why a new mole or an upcoming skin check can take over your thoughts.

Inside the room

What skin cancer groups often cover

Hearing that it is only skin cancer
Scars on the face or body and how people react
Checking your skin and worrying about every change
Being outdoors and in the sun again

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Who these groups may help

People diagnosed with melanoma or another skin cancer
People living with visible scars from surgery
Anyone anxious between skin checks

Frequently asked questions

Is there a melanoma or skin cancer group?

No group is set aside for skin cancer at present. The ones shown here are shared by people with many types of serious illness, and you will also see gentle sessions like breathwork.

Is my worry too much for an early-stage cancer?

No. Fear does not depend on the stage, and members will not compare your diagnosis to theirs.

Do I need to turn my camera on?

Each group states its camera policy before you join, so you can choose one that suits you.

Where can I find medical information about melanoma and skin cancer?

The Skin Cancer Foundation (skincancer.org) covers all skin cancers, and AIM at Melanoma (aimatmelanoma.org) focuses on melanoma.
