Ned 4.5 Years

Hello my name is Barbara Wagner and I live in Mansfield Texas. I use to come on here all the time for support but as time passes we channel into new things. I was first DX in June 2009 invasive in mt right breast in situ my breast surgeon told me I was only the ND person she knew of having it ulcerated in breast in situ. It has been a long journey with many up and downs and depression. I started not eating healthy and not taking care of my self until first I decided to make changes.I have 3 kids and two in high school now all I prayed for was to live long enough to see my kids graduate now I pray for a long life and making a difference.

I do all the local walks,near and far which 4 years ago there was no mention of Melanoma the cause has came a long way and I;m very passionate about spreading awareness and making changes before now I was like what can I do? Well we all can make changes in our own community,schools, city boards I mean everything we have it in us to make a change to be heard and people hear our voices, My daughter has cheered her whole life and competively she was required at a very young age to tan they tell these girls there white WHAT OMG but it was before I knew of Melanoma and the dangers .There is hope.

What I would like to see every one do is to make a change. A  lady that is in charge of The Miles For Melanoma walk here in the DFW area has inspired me so I jumped on the band wagon full trottle.I know can see my purpose were GOD wants to lead me I am in a happy place for the first time in many years I actually smile daily.

I hope everyone to know there is hope don't ever give up. If you live near or far please register for the walk( there will be a live band,mama grams (go figure) it will be worth it and raising money for a great cause rather being a warrior,care giver,loss of a loved one we need to honor those people!1 I'm on Facebook more often and you can always message me if you need support or to vent or to find out what you can do in your community..
