I am a Stage IV Melanoma patient, and it's my goal to teach you ways that you can avoid Melanoma because I'd love to keep you out of my shoes. A little about me. I am an insanely happily married mother of 2, grandmother of 6, and a few grandpuppies. Yay Jax, Princess and Chuy! I'm also an avid Blackhawks fan, but love the Bears, Bulls, and Cubs too. If you'd like to chat about my posts or are in need of information on melanoma, you can contact me at moncie2@gmail.com. Thanks very much for reading!
