      Hi everyone.

       

      I've just appeared on TV here in Australia after having my third primary melanoma removed last week.  Currently Stage 3 for 11 years.

      They have these amazing new machines they are trying to raise funds for detecting melanomas and a mobile application for people living in remote places.  I am so happy to have raised awareness for this beast of a disease and supporting the researchers.

          Loved it! Great job..and that camera on the IPhone was cool. Educational too. I knew the melanoma rate was really high for Australia, I didn't know you're in the world capital.

          Thanks so much for sharing and doing this!

          Grace and peace to you,

              I agree you did a great job. That looks like am amazing machine. It should save lots of lives and biopsies. I hate the watching and waiting, not knowing for sure which moles are bad.

                  Congratulations on your appearance on TV! As many people will know, early diagnosis is
                  really essential. The technology that is being developed these days is incredible. Let's
                  hope that this will increase detection rates and people's awareness of this truly devious
                  cancer.

                  Best wishes
