Bio	I am a woman with two grown sons. This melanoma is my third cancer – breast cancer in 2000, other breast in 2007, now this in 2017. I am a professional writer, and I had an acting career for 35 years. My sons, their wives and my two grandsons are everything to me. They couldn’t be more supportive. I am in both a support group and in private counseling to help me navigate this. I don’t know what my chances are.
