Bio	I was 31 when I was diagnosed with Melanoma (stage IIIc). Having worked many years in the healthcare field I knew whatever the outcome I would would be able to cope. My biggest worry was my son. He was only 4 at the time. It’s been a very emotional journey, but so far I’ve been winning this battle. There is really no explanation as to why I’ve been disease free for almost 2 years….but I’ll take it! Here’s hoping for many more!!
