Bio

I am a 28 year old female. Active & Healthy (for the most part until now) My dad and uncle both had melanoma removed as well at my age. I have a full body check every year. This is the 2nd time they have taken a biopsy from a mole on my body, but only the first time it came back positive. I am scheduled for a wide excision of the lesion on my right ankle ( and a skin graft ), but no SLNB.
