I have a friend who has had melanoma twice now. The first time she was very young, and this time she was in her 50s. She has been in remission for a few years now and we are hopeful that it won't come back again.
I've also had some skin cancer in my family, but thankfully not a whole lot.
Do you have a lot of it in your family? Have you had skin cancer yourself?
I did an interview with my friend about her skin cancer. You can read it at the link below if you want.

Hello sunnflr.
I have heard about melanoma. I've heard it can be deadly if not identified early and treatment begun right away. It sounds like your friend is doing a wonderful job educating others while telling her story. I read your article on healthmad and found it to be very informative. Thanks for sharing.

My mother had a melanoma removed last year and I should really get myself checked out because I used to spend a lot of time in the sun. I haven't noticed anything weird on my skin but seeing the doctor for that is one of the many things on my list...that I put off.
