Our melanoma story
As a writer I’m always happy to have people read what I write. In the case of this blog, I’m particularly happy to have readers who want to learn more about melanoma. If you are new here, welcome!
If you are a melanoma patient or caregiver, I must say first that I’m sorry for your personal connection to our story. Feel free to register for an account and comment. And, if you have topics you want me to research and write about, please send me an email and let me know about your interest.
