In reply to Millican Pecan. Awareness is very important to me. If I could save just one person from what I had to go through, then it will be well worth it. Thank you for reading!

Thank you for sharing! Awareness is Everything. My best friend’s mom passed away from melanoma several years ago, and since I am fair skinned and had a lot of sun damage as a child, I get regular check ups. We need our vitamin D, and the sun feels so good at times, but with the right precautions, we can head off this deadly disease.

I’m so glad I could remind you of your appointment, Mollie. I am so glad that you were so persistent about getting checked out. That’s what makes skin cancer so scary… It’s hard to tell what is harmless and what isn’t. Thanks for reading! <3

I haven’t had issues like you’ve had but did have a bit of a run in…a place on my back many dr.s had seen and ignored. I was concerned and finally asked a doc who referred me to a dermatologist and by the time they were done with me I had a good sized chunk of my back removed. A couple years ago they moved me from quarterly to yearly appointments, and you have just reminded me I’m past due. Thanks for being brave enough to share your story!

Very glad everything turned out good for you. As I have gotten older, I realize that the sun can cause serious damage to you skin, as I have had some skin cancers removed. A tan looks nice but is not worth the risks. Good luck to you and hope you always receive good news from your doctors.
