Bio

I was literally diagnosed with melanoma yesterday (7/27/17) and am still a little bit overwhelmed. I am currently working as a registered respiratory therapist and am an Air Force veteran. When I was in my late teens and early 20’s I used to use tanning beds regularly. I always would burn but I never cared. Eventually I stopped using them because I realized how bad it was for me. Looks like my stupidity is finally catching up with me.
