Bio

I have found a mark on my arm. I never thought much of it and no one has said anything about it since yesterday. I have had it for years and its only recently changed. My mom noticed it and said That’s melanoma right away. I have done some research and I believe it to be true. I am 20 years old, a mother of a 2 year old son.
