Bio

At diagnosis – 50 year old, light haired/light eyed caucasian femaie, with no previous disease, and never really a sun-worshipper. Unfortunately, I lost my younger brother, Tom , to malignant melanoma when he was only 30. As a result, I have been watchful of melanoma and my primary was found by my Dermatologist during a routine skin check.
