When friend groups face cancer scares during shared health routines

Three of us in our friend group have been doing monthly dermatologist visits together for support, but one friend just got diagnosed with melanoma and now our 'skin check buddy system' feels weird and scary. We don't know whether to keep going together or if it's too triggering, and nobody wants to be the one to say they're scared to find out what's on their own skin.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A supportive health practice among friends becomes complicated when one person receives a serious diagnosis, leaving others uncertain how to continue caring for themselves and each other.
