Bio

I am a married 45 yrs old female with 4 daughters, 2 in college and 2 at home who was diagnosed in August 2017 with Stage 3 Melanoma on my left shin. I just had surgery to remove the tumor and affected lymph nodes and just found out that 2 of the 3 lymph nodes that were removed are malignant. Looking to get as much information as possible to be well informed with all my options and treatment plan.
