around here... I forget who it was, but either a nestie or their family member was diagnosed with melanoma. This encouraged me to have a mole checked out that I was a little worried about. I went this morning and luckily, it's just atypical for now. I have an appointment to have two atypical moles removed in a few weeks.
So please know that by sharing your news, you're encouraging others to have their own health issues checked on.
