Bio

I was diagnosed with stage 0 in situ melanoma in 2013 while pregnant with my first daughter, it was a congenital atypical spitz nevi that turned into melanoma . It was removed with Wide margins and I am melanoma free. My grandfather had multiple melanomas, unknown stage as he passed when I was younger and my grandmother does not remember so I am assuming they were early stage. My brother was diagnosed with stage 3A in Dec 2016 at age 33 and my father was diagnosed in Feb 2017 age 55, still awaiting pathology results and staging. My husband was also diagnosed with Melanoma at age 15, stage 1a.
