Bio

I am currently 45 years old. I have had a lot of loss in the last 5 years of my initial diagnosis. It hurts me everyday that my children have had to go through so much. The year that I was diagnosed with melanoma my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. She passed away that year. My father passed away a year before that from leukemia. While I was going through treatment my husband was diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia. Although no cancer is a good cancer this is one of the best ones. He went through 5 days of chemotherapy and went in remission. Right after my initial melanoma surgery my father in law passed away. My mother in law passed away several years before that from ALS.
