Bio

I am 55 years old diagnosed with Amelanotic Melanoma. It had no color, was thought to be a keloid by dermatologist. We all were shocked when pathology showed Melanoma. I had a wide excision with 5 lymph nodes removed, 4 positive for cells. Because of its appearance I let it go for way too long.
