Bio

I am 60 yrs old, divorced and 2 children (30&40). I currently live w/my schnauzer jax and my cat ruby. I had been noticing that a spot on my shin was changing,(not a mole) ,but never did anything until my daughter in law (worked at derm office) said that I need to get it ck.d. my primary dr sent me right away to the general surgeon, who right away scheduled surgery to remove tumor for biopsy. I had superficial malignant spreading melanoma. its been 2yrs.
