Bio

My life has changed now that I have melanoma. An easily treatable cancer, but that part does not scare me. What scares me is my age. I am 20 years old and I was diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma. I have had it removed, but I do not know what the future holds. I know this is treatable and beatable. I have hope, but why I am here is because of my curiosity and fear of the unknown. I want to learn about what to do and what to expect for the future, and what to do to prevent more cases of melanoma appearing.
