But im afraid this is something i have no choice but deal with for the reat of my life ... hopefully our experiences and passion to raise awareness will change many others who have no idea, yet will be affected ... knowledge is power :) *dana k*https://www.blogger.com/profile/08584830808782049044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-54239804395648508612012-11-12T07:28:55.929-05:002012-11-12T07:28:55.929-05:00Talk about inspiring!

I had three moles on my face that were melanoma...one they had to cut pretty deep, luckily I needed no further treatments. I would rather have the scars than the cancer! This cancer is so much more prevalent than people know! I pity those who just have to be out in the sun all the time with no protection.Tifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085944100793576675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-90191530829592932762012-11-08T10:43:07.929-05:002012-11-08T10:43:07.929-05:00Glad to hear you're okay!

This summer I had one on my back removed because it popped up seemingly overnight, and of course after reading tons of articles about skin cancer that set off the warning bells!<br /><br />It turned out to be nothing at all, but I was glad that my doctor also took it seriously and removed it rather than saying, "Oh, we'll wait and see."

The other was on my left clavicle of my shoulder. However, I am happy to report that on my last dermatologist appointment none would removed. I love reading your blog postings and always happy to cheer you on for raising melanoma awareness.

It has gotten bigger since I first noticed it. And here I am urging everyone to go get checked, but yet, I have been postponing trying to get in to see my doc early, because of all my scans. I am calling tomorrow- because of you.
