QUALITY OF LIFE RESOURCES
Research has increased the chances for survival after a melanoma diagnosis dramatically in recent years. Survival alone is not enough, however. An equally important issue is how well are you living with melanoma? Whatever your prognosis, you want to live a life that is meaningful and dignified. You will need strategies and resources to help you deal with anxiety and, possibly, the pain that comes with melanoma treatment so that you can live each day to the fullest, whether it is for the next year or the next 50 years.
